About Kefirgrains.eu

Milk kefir, Water kefir, and Kombucha are refreshing wellness drinks that guarantee a healthy life. You can quickly produce these delicious drinks by yourself.

Milk kefir has a creamy consistency and a refreshing sour, occasionally slightly yeasty flavor depending on the fermentation. Many aromatic ingredients contribute to the distinctive scent and taste of milk kefir. The kefir culture is a complex composition of specific bacteria and yeasts in symbiotic cohabitation. Kefir cultures include a microflora, which forms its characteristic white, spongy form. Water kefir is a fermented carbonated drink with the aid of a Kefir consisting of yeasts and lactic acid bacteria. It has more similarities with Kombucha than with milk kefir.

How do find the best grains for kefir?

Most people choose the most convenient strains of kefir grains since the standard and stable features of the grains are consistent across strains. After experimenting with different varieties, we have decided to use medium-sized grains from Dom’s Kefir in Australia. These little kefir grains are like cowiflowersand filtering them is simple due to their small size. 

Are kefir grains everlasting?

If you take care of your kefir grains, they will last a lifetime. However, they are not unkillable. They will perish if they are not fed on a regular basis. They will perish if you apply antibacterial cream to them. They won’t survive if exposed to chlorine, soaps, or other chemicals. However, if you feed them regularly, keep them away from metals, and maintain their habitat clean, they will live a long time, proliferate, and flourish.

What distinguishes it from yoghurt or curd?

The most frequent query we receive is this one. One kefir strain of the Lactobacillus family ferments curd or yoghurt. It may include one to three different strain variations. Kefir fermentation, on the other hand, uses nearly sixty distinct kinds of yeast and bacteria.

Should you consume Kefir throughout your life?

Kefir is not addictive, despite all of its wonderful health advantages. You are free to quit drinking it whenever you choose. If you’re drinking kefir to help with a health problem—such as constipation, diarrhea, etc.—you should keep drinking it until the issue at hand is resolved, at which point you can quit. Although I have been consuming kefir for a decade and a half, I don’t always consume it. I take any excess I can get my hands on. In addition, I have the benefit of having three to seven different varieties of kefir, so I alternate between drinking them.
