About Kefir milk

Kefir milk is a tangy, fermented dairy beverage originating from the Caucasus region, prized for its rich probiotic content. Made by fermenting milk with kefir grains—clusters of bacteria and yeast—this drink is packed with gut-friendly microorganisms that support digestive health. It contains essential nutrients like calcium, protein, vitamins B12 and K2, and magnesium, contributing to bone strength, energy metabolism, and overall wellness. Kefir milk is widely used in Eastern European and Middle Eastern cuisine and can be consumed on its own or used in smoothies, dressings, and baked goods. Its probiotics may help boost immunity, improve digestion, and reduce inflammation. Despite its health benefits, individuals with lactose intolerance should opt for lactose-free kefir, as it still contains trace amounts of lactose. Its slightly sour taste and creamy texture make it a versatile addition to any diet looking to incorporate functional nutrition.
