NO APPLIANCE NEEDED! Kefir is one of the oldest cultured milks, having its origin in the Caucasian Mountains. With a bubbly effervescence and no bitter aftertaste, Kefir has been called the "champagne of milk". Kefir is a fermented milk which contains a mixture of several species of lactic cultures.
Yogourmet Kefir starter is prepared from selected strains of active Kefir cultures and Kefir grains, so our Kefir produces a rich, creamy, alcohol free drink every time. It is a refreshing, nutritious, and therapeutic dairy treat for all ages.

Ultimate Nourishment's Inside Scoop:
The Yogourmet Kéfir Starter can be used with any yogurt machine. When Kefir is made, keep in mind that Kefir is supposed to be very thin and milk-like since Kefir is a "cultured milk". Kefir is not supposed to thicken. The curd size of kefir is much smaller than yogurt, which is why it will still look like milk when the Kefir is done cooking in the yogurt machine. The thin style of Kefir is one of the benefits of drinking Kefir since it is easier to digest than yogurt. Another reason why Kefir is preferred over yogurt is the fermentation of the grains of Kefir which offer much stronger probiotics, which are amazing for your digestive system. Some recipes for Kefir say that you can add yogurt to the Kefir when making Kefir to give a slightly thicker consistency.
