| | Kefir curds; probiotic bacteria ferment milk into yogurt. |
| | Kefir is a stirred beverage made from milk fermented with a complex mixture of bacteria (including various species of lactobacilli, lactococci, leuconostocs, and aceterobacteria) and yeasts (both lactose-fermenting and non-lactose-fermenting). | | | Kefir distinguishes itself from the more known fermented milk yogurt in that it is traditionally made only from kefir grains which contain a complex mixture of both bacteria and yeasts. | | | Kefir is a refreshing fermented milk with a slightly acidic taste. |

| | Got Kefir? - MotheringDotCommune Forums |
| | Kefir can be made from any type of milk, cow, goat or sheep, coconut, rice or soy. | | | Kefir's tart and refreshing flavor is similar to a drinking-style yogurt, but it contains beneficial yeast as well as friendly 'probiotic' bacteria found in yogurt. | | | Kefir is made from gelatinous white or yellow particles called "grains." This makes kefir unique, as no other milk culture forms grains. |

| | Application of Milk-Kefir |
| | Within the Kefir fungus the lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus lactis) and the yeast fungus agglutinate into a corm, which when treated with milk produces an aromatic milk product within 24 hours. | | | In contrast to all other milk products (cheese, curd, yogurt) the Kefir does not require any additional yeast fungus to process the milk (only the bacteria in lactic acid). | | | In the process the sugar that is contained in the milk is being deconstructed into lactic acid. |

| | F.A.Q. concerning Water-Kefir |
| | One of the reasons for slow growth (among others) is found in the high amount of chlorine in the water supplies of the bigger cities – here you should switch to the mineral water from the supermarket. | | | When stored in the fridge the Kefir is not that active and can last for up to three weeks. | | | However, if you should find that your Kefir drink tastes differently you should be very cautious. |

| | Both kefir and yogurt are cultured milk products... | | | Kefir's active yeast and bacteria provide more nutritive value than yogurt by helping digest the foods that you eat and by keeping the colon environment clean and healthy. | | | Because the curd size of kefir is smaller than yogurt, it is also easier to digest, which makes it a particularly excellent, nutritious food for babies, invalids and the elderly, as well as a remedy for digestive disorders. |
