Water kefir is a fermented probiotic drink made by combining water kefir grains—clusters of beneficial bacteria and yeast—with water and a natural sugar source such as cane sugar, fruit juice, or dried fruit. Originating from Mexico and Central America, where it is traditionally known as tibicos, water kefir offers a tangy, lightly fizzy taste and can be flavored with fruits, herbs, or spices. Rich in probiotics, it supports gut health by promoting a diverse microbiome, potentially aiding digestion and boosting immunity. It is naturally dairy-free and vegetarian, making it an accessible alternative to milk-based fermented drinks. However, the sugar content of water kefir can vary depending on preparation, and those monitoring sugar intake may need to consider this. Additionally, homemade versions require careful handling to avoid contamination. Overall, water kefir is a refreshing, healthy beverage when consumed in moderation.
