The Best Borscht: Gefen
Borscht, for those of you not of Eastern European descent, is basically beet soup. It’s prepared in many variations, but is particularly nice as a cold soup, served with a dollop or two of sour cream. Surprisingly tasty, and nutritious — even more so if you use fat-free Fage Total o% Greek Yogurt instead of sour cream My mom came up with this brilliant substitution, and she also insists there’s only one brand of Borscht worth buying: Gefen. Buy it online from FreshDirect in NYC, or from IsraelSuper.com or allinkosher.com, which ship anywhere in the US.
Just as good, and more pleasing to the diet conscious
is Gefen’s lite.
