So What exactly is Milk Kefir?

So basically, Milk kefir is the drink, but Milk kefir grains are the “starter kit” that you use to produce the drink. Kefir originated from parts of Eastern Europe and Southwest Asia. The name is derived from the Turkish word keyif, which means “feeling good” after eating. It can be made with Cows or goats Milk.

The Kefir grains are natural symbiotic cultures containing a huge number of natural bacteria that turn the lactose in the milk into lactic acid, so kefir tastes sour like yogurt it has a thinner consistency so it is more smoothie like.

Kefir also contains a wide variety of bioactive compounds, including organic acids and peptides that contribute to its benefits.

Dairy-free versions of kefir can be made with coconut milk and some other nut milks however, these will not have the same nutrient profile as dairy-based kefir.

Kefir is incredibly easy to make at home and can be flavoured just like yogurt but it is also incredibly versatile so it can be used in baking, for salad dressings, sour dough, cottage cheese and much much more. Kefir is a good source of Protein, Calcium, Phosphorus, Vitamin B12, Riboflavin (B2), Magnesium and Vitamin D.
