What is Kefir?
Kefir is fermented milk, much like yogurt or cheese. The word Kefir is believed to be Turkish and translates into “good feeling”. It looks much like yogurt but with a slightly more tangy or sour flavor. However, Kefir contains different types of beneficial bacteria (approximately 30 unique species) that Yogurt does not have.
