Origin and properties of Kefir
Kefir, which was already consumed by the inhabitants of the Caucasus in antiquity and called “grains of the Prophet Muhammad”, derives from the Turkish word “keyif”, which means “to feel good”.
This food, considered a probiotic food par excellence, differs from yogurt in the fermentation process. In Kefir, milk ferments by lactoalcoholic reaction while in yogurt it is only lactic.
The double fermentation of kefir makes it hardly lactose and is much more digestive and tolerable.
Kefir benefits:
- Antioxidant
- Antihypertensive

How can we take Kefir: You can take it alone, with sugar, honey, cereals, muesli, nuts or fruit or even make cream cheese or smoothies or vegetable purees and you can also use it for making pastries.
And what are probiotics?: Probiotics kefir are beneficial live microorganisms found in this fermented beverage.
Probiotics are bacteria and yeasts that can have positive effects on human health when consumed in adequate quantities. They help maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in the digestive system and promote intestinal health. Some of the probiotics present in kefir include species of Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Streptococcus and Saccharomyces, among others.
