What to know about Sbooch Koshimbir Indian Sparkling Kombucha Tea
A light savoury kombucha with almost no nutrients
Sbooch Koshimbir is a 275 ml bottle of sparkling kombucha tea, made to taste like the Indian cucumber and tomato salad. It is built from filtered water, tomato juice (6%), cucumber juice (6%), coriander, kombucha culture, cane sugar, ginger juice, salt and black and green tea. It is bought by people who want a fizzy, savoury alternative to a sweet soft drink.
What you get is light: 19.29 kcal per 100 ml, which is about 53 kcal in the bottle. Sugar is 2.97 g per 100 ml, about 8.2 g a bottle, and sodium is 19 mg per 100 ml, about 52 mg a bottle. Protein is 1.09 g per 100 ml, about 3 g a bottle, and no fibre or vitamins are declared.
The name promises a koshimbir flavour, and the list does carry real tomato, cucumber, coriander and ginger, though tomato and cucumber are 6% each. The pack also stacks wellness words such as gut-friendly, detoxifying and builds immunity, with no figure on the panel behind them. CleanPlate scores it EA2.
Why Sbooch Koshimbir Indian Sparkling Kombucha Tea scores EA2
Nutrition is an E because protein is only 1.09 g per 100 ml and there is no fibre or vitamin. Ingredients are an A with no additives, and risk is a 2 on 2.97 g sugar per 100 ml.
Very low nutrient density

- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 19 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 1.09 g per 100 ml, and most of it comes from tomato juice, so the protein earns only half credit. No fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else adds to the grade.
In a 275 ml bottle that is about 3 g protein and 53 kcal. The drink is light, but light is not the same as nourishing.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

- None
02 Ingredient integrity: why A
The list is short and made of recognisable things: water, tomato and cucumber juice, coriander, kombucha culture, cane sugar, ginger juice, salt and tea. No additive of concern is listed, no hydrogenated fat is present and no label promise is hollow.
Nothing here costs ingredient points, which puts the grade near the top of the scale.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Low risk
- Total sugar
- 3 g
- Sodium
- 19 mg
03 Load risk: why 2
Sugar is the biggest part of the risk number: 2.97 g per 100 ml, about 8.2 g in the bottle. The panel prints no added-sugar line, so the full sugar figure is treated as free sugar, since cane sugar is on the list.
Sodium is small at 19 mg per 100 ml, about 52 mg a bottle. Saturated fat is nil and energy is low at 19.29 kcal per 100 ml, so neither moves the grade.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
