If you’re looking to add more probiotic-rich foods to your family’s diet, kefir is one of the easiest additions.
⁣⁣
⁣Milk kefir is a probiotic-rich drink made by fermenting milk kefir “grains” – a culture of beneficial bacteria and yeast – with dairy or coconut milk.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣If you’re sensitive to dairy or coconut milk, then water kefir is another option but you’ll need water kefir grains instead of milk kefir grains.⁣

⁣The hardest part is getting kefir grains:⁣
⁣⁣
⁣In the UAE, join the UAE culture club on Facebook to find someone willing to share kefir grains or buy them from Healthy Living (discount code BKBRN on their kombucha starters)⁣.
⁣⁣
In the US, visit culturesforhealth.com to buy dehydrated starters. Also check for them on Amazon & iHerb.⁣

????A few important notes:⁣
⁣⁣
⁣1️⃣ Don’t let your kefir grains touch metal (hence the plastic strainer)⁣
⁣⁣
⁣2️⃣ Don’t rinse your kefir grains in tap water⁣
⁣⁣
⁣3️⃣ Fermentation time depends on the temperature of your kitchen. The hotter it is, the less time it needs (~8-12 hours vs. 24 hours in colder weather).⁣
⁣⁣
⁣4️⃣ Storing my kefir in the fridge halts fermentation drastically when I don’t feel like making it daily⁣
⁣⁣
⁣5️⃣ I store my extra grains in a small glass jar of milk in the freezer to share with family, friends, and clients
⁣⁣
⁣Hope this encourages you to give it a go!⁣
