Water Kefir: you can make the MOST DELICIOUS, probiotic fizzy soda drinks using these grains! Water kefir is also known as tibicos, tibi, sugar kefir, Japanese water crystals, amongst other things. Kefir means "feel good" in Turkish.
Water kefir is a fermented probiotic beverage. It is quick and simple to prepare although it requires attention daily. Water kefir is a wonderful source of beneficial bacteria and it also contains a variety of enzymes and organic acids, B vitamins, vitamin K and folic acid.
Kefir or tibicos cultures are found around the world, with no two cultures being exactly the same. Typical tibicos have a mix of Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Pediococcus and Leuconostoc bacteria with yeasts from Saccharomyces, Candida, Kloeckera and possibly others. When properly cared for and regularly cultured, they produce a wonderful probiotic-rich beverage that continues to grow and reproduce indefinitely.
Water kefir is made with kefir grains (small, translucent, gelatinous structures comprised of assorted bacteria and yeasts), water, and sugars. You can eat the kefir grains, they don't have much flavour but are a good probiotic.
Drinking Water Kefir can help you to achieve your optimal health, strengthen your immune system, reduces inflammation and restores good digestion which is the key to health and longevity. When your body is out of balance, unfriendly opportunistic bacteria and yeasts can take over - producing irritable and bad digestion, food allergies, headaches, flu, skin rashes, and other more serious disorders. Water kefir is something you and your family can drink and use on your skin every day. We are sure you will notice an increase in energy and an overall feeling of good health if you consumer water kefir regularly.
If you don't want to consume dairy products then water kefir is an excellent non-dairy probiotic source.
After you have brewed your water kefir it is easy to add other flavours as a second ferment.
