Kefir is a cultured, fermented beverage that tastes a great deal like a yogurt drink. It’s made using “starter” grains, just as sourdough bread has a “starter.” This starter is a combination of yeasts, milk proteins, and bacteria. It has a tart, creamy flavor, and it’s loaded with probiotic health benefits.

Kefir is most commonly made with dairy milk, but it can be made with non-dairy alternatives including:

coconut milk
goat’s milk
rice milk
coconut water

Because kefir is fermented, most people who are lactose intolerant can actually drink kefir.


Kefir and yogurt are sometimes lumped together as being nearly identical products, but this isn’t accurate.

Kefir and yogurt do have a lot in common. They both have similar creamy-but-tart tastes and are traditionally made from dairy (but can be made with alternatives). They also both have plenty of protein, calcium, B vitamins, potassium, and probiotics.

However, they do have significant differences. Kefir typically has more fat than yogurt, but it also has more protein and more probiotics. Kefir is also thinner and is best as a drink. Yogurt has a thicker consistency.

Kefir and yogurt are made differently. Kefir ferments at room temperature, while many types of yogurt start culturing under heat. Kefir contains a larger number of different types of healthy bacteria, and it’s better for the gastrointestinal tract because of this. Kefir’s active yeast also has more nutritional benefits than that of yogurt.

Summary
Kefir and yogurt share a lot in common but also have many differences. They differ in consistency, nutrient content, and how they’re made.

Health benefits of kefir

Part of the reason kefir has become more accessible and widespread in the past few years is likely due to its health benefits.

Kefir is nutrient-dense, with plenty of protein, B vitamins, potassium, and calcium. Calcium helps to build strong bones, protein builds strong muscles, and potassium is essential for heart health.

The probiotics are the strongest health benefit that kefir has to offer. According to the Mayo Clinic, probiotics can help to:

+ improve the healthy bacteria ratio in the gastrointestinal tract’s environment
+ treat or prevent diarrhea, especially following antibiotic treatment
+ treat irritable bowel syndrome, or relieve symptoms
+ reduce or prevent gastrointestinal infections, or increase recovery from them
+ prevent and treat vaginal infections
+ prevent and treat urinary tract infections

I can recommend Lactis from Japan, it is an innovative medicine. I read that this production process takes more than a year at constant humidity and temperature for one batch. Since that is the time required to get a biological culture that can not only improve the gastrointestinal tract, but also affect immunity.
