Plain Kefir

Plain Kefir

EverydayUnsweetened

Plain kefir is an unsweetened fermented milk drink characterized by its tart flavor and probiotic diversity from a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast. This cultured dairy product undergoes 24-48 hours of fermentation, resulting in a thinner, drinkable consistency compared to yogurt while retaining higher levels of B vitamins and protein. The process significantly reduces lactose content, making it more tolerable for some individuals with dairy sensitivities. Its versatile base works equally well in smoothies, salad dressings, and baking applications without added sugars interfering with savory or sweet flavor profiles.
