Cold Beetroot Soup, known as "Šaltibarščiai" in Lithuanian cuisine, is a vibrant and refreshing dish traditionally enjoyed during warmer months. Its striking pink color comes from grated beetroot, blended with tangy kefir or buttermilk for a creamy base. Other ingredients typically include cucumbers, green onions, fresh dill, and hard-boiled eggs, with some recipes incorporating sour cream for added richness. Originating in Eastern Europe, this chilled soup is celebrated for its nutrient-packed profile—beets are high in antioxidants, fiber, and essential vitamins like folate, while kefir contributes probiotics for gut health. Cucumbers and dill provide hydration and a fresh flavor. Though low in calories, the addition of sour cream and eggs can increase its fat content. Served often with boiled potatoes or rye bread, this soup offers a wholesome and unique combination of earthy and tangy flavors.
