Tibicos - The Kefir Culture
Kefir has two types. Water Kefir and Milk Kefir. Water kefir is more transparent and made from water with sugar and milk kefir is from, you guessed right, Milk.
As the kefir cultures ferment longer with the milk, they creates new grains and can then be used again and again. Kefir is a living culture, a complex symbiosis of more than 30 microflora that form into cauliflower looking grains.
Some of the friendly bacteria are lactic acid bacteria, Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lb delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, Lb helveticus, Lb casei subsp, Kluyveromyces, Torulopsis, and Saccharomyces.
Kefir also contains:
vitamins, minerals, enzymes. Included are calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, B2 and B12, vitamin K, vitamin A and vitamin D.
People who do not wish to consume dairy products may find that water kefir provides pro-biotics without the need for dairy or tea cultured products, like Kombucha
