What is Kefir?
Kefir or kephir (/kəˈfɪər/ kə-FEER), alternatively a milk kefir or búlgaros, which is much different from water kefir grains, is a fermented milk drink made with a yeast/bacterial fermentation starter of kefir grains. Tradition states that they originated in the Caucasus
Mountains of West Asia.
It is prepared by inoculating cow, goat, or sheep milk with kefir grains. Traditional kefir was made in goatskin bags that were hung near a doorway; the bags would be knocked by anyone passing through to keep the milk and kefir grains well mixed. You cannot make kefir grains and they must be obtained from a
friend or commercial source.
Kefir is a symbiosis of many beneficial bacteria and yeasts, which form grains that look like cauliflower-like in its structure. During the fermentation culturing process, the Kefir grains changes it's food source into healthy ‘living’ pro-biotic food. It takes between
5 and 24 hours for dairy kefir, to
produce a finished product.
Kefir is a cultured pro-biotic dairy product, similar to kombucha or other fermented foods. The difference is that dairy kefir is grown in milk, whereas, kombucha uses a solution of
tea and sugar.
Dairy kefir, the "Champagne of Milks," is considered by health authorities to be superior to yogurt, in its ability to enhance intestinal flora, act as a digestive aid to the stomach, and promotion of good health. Where as yogurts have one or two strains of pro-biotics, kefir can contain several
yeast and bacterias.
These Kefir grains are real grains, passed from one person to another, unlike the prepackaged kefir starters, such as Helios or Body Ecology,
that you may find on other sites or selling in retail stores.
