Glass of kefir is a tangy, fermented dairy drink enjoyed worldwide, originating from the Caucasus region and Eastern Europe. Made by fermenting milk with kefir grains—tiny cultures of beneficial bacteria and yeast—it results in a creamy beverage rich in probiotics. These probiotics support gut health, bolster the immune system, and may aid digestion. Kefir is a good source of protein, calcium, vitamin B12, and phosphorus, contributing to bone strength and overall wellness. Naturally lower in lactose due to fermentation, kefir can often be tolerated by those with mild lactose sensitivity. Its tart flavor makes it a refreshing choice, either consumed on its own or incorporated into smoothies and recipes. However, individuals watching their calorie or fat intake should opt for lower-fat versions, as traditional kefir can be calorie-dense due to its full-fat origins. Its vibrant nutrient profile makes kefir a wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
