Product Description
Milk as a celebratory product – that’s something to show up with! This fresh, slightly sparkling kefir is often confused with the famous beverage from Epernay, hence its festive nickname “milk champagne”. According to legend, it was Prophet Mohammed himself who gifted kefir to shepherds in the Caucasus. That was fine until there, but those shepherds kept the kefir in a pouch somewhere in their hut. We can do better than that – with this milk kefir starter kit, we combine our milk kefir grains with our beautiful kefir jar so you have everything you need to make your own milk kefir. An original and complete gift!
What is Milk Kefir?
Milk kefir is a fresh, slightly effervescent, probiotic dairy drink. Kefir is derived from the Turkish word ‘keyif’, expressing a feeling of pleasure. The special thing about our kefir grains is that they keep growing, giving you an endless supply. The drinking yogurt is easy to prepare yourself. It’s packed with vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B1 (Thiamine), B2, B6, B12, C, D, H (Biotin), and K. It also contains minerals and essential amino acids. Additionally, milk kefir is easily digestible due to a large amount of dextrorotatory lactic acid bacteria. Since many of the milk sugars are converted, kefir is often better tolerated by people with lactose sensitivity than milk. The consistency is somewhere between yogurt and buttermilk. The taste is more mature (cheesier, if you will) and unlike its tamer yogurt cousins, it contains both fizz AND alcohol. Though you shouldn’t expect too much regarding intoxication potential. The alcohol percentage is between 0.1 and 2%, and the latter only in exceptional cases. Kefir ferments at both room temperature and in the refrigerator and works equally well with raw, skimmed, or whole milk from cow, sheep, or goat.
Our Ingenious and Complete Kefirko Kefir Jar
The accompanying kefir jar is very ingeniously designed. By turning the transparent lid, you can increase and decrease air flow. The strainer lid below can be rotated for fine or coarse straining, making it suitable for holding back finer water kefir as well as larger milk kefir grains while letting the thick milk kefir through. The jar also comes with a citrus press, a handy scoop/stirring rod, and a scraper for mixing the kefir grains during transfer, making it easy to separate them from the kefir. The kefir jar can also be used to sprout vegetables, make kombucha, vinegar, or ginger beer
