What Is Milk Kefir?

Milk kefir is a traditional cultured dairy drink with a creamy texture similar to drinking yoghurt.

Using live kefir grains, fresh milk is naturally fermented into a probiotic-rich beverage that has been enjoyed for generations.

Many people enjoy milk kefir as part of a healthy lifestyle due to its rich diversity of beneficial bacteria and yeasts.

Unlike many probiotic products, kefir grains can be reused repeatedly, allowing you to make fresh batches at home whenever you like.
