With its shockingly pink colour and fresh and zesty zing that explodes on your tongue - this is the true taste of Lithuanian summer. A blend of sweet, sour, and salty, it is our take on umami. And at the heart of the dish is a simple combination of local ingredients: beetroot, cucumber, herbs, eggs, and kefir. Speaking of that shocking pink: it’s also 100% natural. In fact, it’s safe to say that Lithuania’s food ethos revolves around the use of authentic, seasonal ingredients, whether in age-old recipes or contemporary dishes. So, if you like your food natural, and are looking to add some extra color to your Instagram feed, you need to jump right in. This soup is so wild, it even has its own festival (and a map of where you can get the best bowl of it).
