So, what is kefir culture?

Kefir culture is a symbiotic blend of bacteria and yeasts that are used to ferment milk or non-dairy milk alternatives to create the tangy, probiotic-rich drink known as kefir. This culture contains a variety of beneficial microorganisms that help to break down lactose and enhance nutrient absorption, making kefir a great choice for those with lactose intolerance. In addition to its digestive benefits, kefir culture has also been shown to have immune-boosting properties and may help to lower inflammation in the body. With its tangy flavor and numerous health benefits, kefir culture is a popular ingredient for those seeking to improve their gut health.
