Adana şalgam juice, mild is a traditional fermented drink from Adana in southern Turkey. It is made mainly with purple carrots and turnip, with salt and a bulgur-based fermentation starter often used in the preparation. The mild version leaves out the hot pepper, while keeping the drink’s characteristic tangy, savoury flavour.
In Turkey it is usually served chilled, especially alongside kebabs and other grilled or richly seasoned dishes; it can also be enjoyed on its own with a meal. It is low in energy and mostly water, with a small amount of carbohydrate: 100 g provides 12 calories. Its salty, tart taste pairs well with grilled vegetables as well as meat, and a smaller glass is an easy option if you prefer a less salty accompaniment.
