What Is Water Kefir?
You may have already heard of dairy kefir but what about water kefir grains? Kefir (Keh-Feer) is a powerful ferment and great healer.
It is particularly useful for those suffering from Leaky Gut Syndrome. The water kefir grains are a mix of bacteria and yeast that work well together and grow when fed on sugar including fruit sugars. They look like ummm…well….yellow or whitish jelly fish put through a potato masher but they can also become quite large. I’ve provided a picture of them in my stainless steel strainer.
Water kefir is a yeasty type water based drink that is produced as a result of adding water kefir grains with sugar and retained minerals. It is a live pro-biotic and is considered a stronger detoxifier than milk kefir grains or kombucha."
