FAQs about KEFIR
What is that? Kefir.
Huh? Water Kefir.
Ummmm….? Sigh. Have you ever heard of Kefir? Yoghurty stuff, usually.
No. What is it? Oh God. Ok, these little grainy things are Symbiotic Colonies of Bacteria and Yeast. You know how yoghurt has live cultures in it? And it’s good for you and stuff? Well this is similar. You can basically make a soft drink that’s probiotic and good for you and tastes nice and shit. Using these grainy things.
What’s the point, if you can just eat yoghurt? What’s the fucking point in anything? I don’t know, I like doing it. And I do make yoghurt but yoghurt is yoghurt, yoghurt is not a fizzy drink. Sometimes you want a fizzy drink, not yoghurt.
Where does it come from? Don’t know, not properly. It’s a bit magic. It is thought to have originated in the Caucasus region, when shepherds were walking around with leather pouches of milk, and occasionally the milk would ferment and turn sour and fizzy. The actual grainy things…I guess they just started appearing in the milk and then when people decided they liked this mad fizzy sour milk, they got the idea that these blobby things were responsible, and started using them to innoculate fresh milk.
Fuck that’s a bit creepy isn’t it? Yes. Yes it is.
Is there booze in it? A tiny bit, probably. Like 2% max.
