Kefir grains

Kefir grains are a natural community of beneficial bacteria and yeasts, resembling small cauliflower buds. They are used to ferment milk or water, transforming it into a rich probiotic drink that supports digestive and immune health.

Kefir grains are not plant-based grains, but rather live microorganisms that multiply with proper use.

Benefits of kefir grain

• Improves digestion and reduces bloating

• Supports a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut

• Boosts immunity

• Aids in mineral absorption

• May be easier to digest than regular milk for people with lactose intolerance
