Kefir Grains
  • Kefir grains are a combination of yeast and
    bacteria. They are a symbiotic colony of bacteria
    and yeast that form a gelatinous mass, which can
    be used to make kefir. Kefir grains are not
    actually grains, but rather a symbiotic colony of
    bacteria and yeast. The grains are added to milk
    and allowed to ferment for several days. During
    this time, the microorganisms in the kefir grains
    produce lactic acid, which lowers the pH of the
    milk and produces beneficial enzymes. The grains
    also produce more beneficial microorganisms as
    they ferment the milk.
