Ukrainian dietary borscht is a light and healthy version of traditional borscht, preserving its best culinary traditions. Its roots run deep in Ukrainian cuisine, where borscht is a symbol of home comfort and hospitality. This recipe is meat-free, making it ideal for light eating and dietary plans. The tender combination of stewed vegetables—beets, carrots, celery, and cabbage—gives the borscht a vibrant color and rich flavor. Tomato paste adds acidity while fresh herbs and black pepper provide a hint of spiciness. This borscht is perfect for those who appreciate balanced nutrition while maintaining the depth and richness of traditional Ukrainian taste.
