Kefir: The Fermented Probiotic Beverage

Kefir is a fermented probiotic beverage, traditionally made with kefir "grains" – a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast, also known as a SCOBY. The result is an effervescent drink with a tangy flavor and a consistency akin to heavy cream or yogurt.

The word "kefir" comes from the Turkish word "keyif," meaning "feeling good" – aptly named for the short- and long-term benefits of consuming this enzyme-rich drink, from the ease of digestion to the strengthening of the immune system.

A Beginner-Friendly Starter Culture

If you're new to the world of fermenting and culturing, kefir is a great place to start. The dehydrated grains arrive ready to go, and you can culture them at room temperature (68-85°F) using just a jar, a strainer, a coffee filter, and a rubber band. Plus, kefir is ready in just 12-24 hours, much faster than some other cultures.

The Gift that Keeps on Giving

Kefir starter grains are an heirloom culture, meaning you can reuse them over and over for as long as you want, essentially having a limitless supply of kefir. Once a batch is done, you can simply plop the grains into a fresh quart of milk and start culturing more. Finished kefir can last up to 2-3 weeks in the fridge.

Enjoy the Health Benefits of Kefir

Kefir is packed with probiotics, containing 3 times more than yogurt. It's also a great source of calcium, vitamin K2, and other essential nutrients, making it easier to digest than most dairy products.
