Kefir grains can be used to ferment various types of milk, including cow, goat, and sheep milk, as well as non-dairy alternatives such as soymilk. The fermentation process takes around 24 hours and takes place at room temperature. Kefir has a thinner consistency than yogurt, with a slightly tangy, effervescent flavor. It also contains a wider variety of beneficial bacteria and yeasts than yogurt, making it a good choice for gut health.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yogurt, on the other hand, is made by fermenting milk with specific strains of lactic acid bacteria, usually Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus. The milk is heated and cooled to specific temperatures during the fermentation process, which can take anywhere from 8-24 hours depending on the type of yogurt. Yogurt has a thicker consistency than kefir, with a tangy flavor that can range from mild to tart. It contains fewer bacterial strains than kefir, but still provides beneficial probiotics for gut health.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of nutritional profiles, both kefir and yogurt are good sources of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. However, kefir may have some additional health benefits due to its wider variety of beneficial bacteria and yeasts. Kefir may also be easier to digest than yogurt for some people, as it contains enzymes that aid in digestion. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"yith-faqs-copy\" href=\"#\" data-faq=\"https:\/\/kefir.link\/en\/faq\/#faq-10568\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"hover-text\">Copy link<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"success-text\">Copied!<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"faq-10475\" class=\"yith-faqs-item icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon yfwp-caret-square-o-down\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>My grains are a bit yellowish and orange, is that dead?<\/b>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<p id=\"tw-target-text\">Beige or light yellow or orange kefir is normal.

It can be used to fertilize and nurture house plants, flowers, your lawn, or your garden. The bacteria and acidic nature can be very beneficial for plants. Did you know its essential to have bacteria in your dirt to convert nitrogen to an edible source for your plants? Kefir can also easily be made into cream cheese or other forms of cheese (such as making ricotta). Kefir serves as a great starter for breads and pizzas! Use it in place of a sourdough starter or yeast packet. Excess whey both in the past and present is also commonly incorporated into chicken feed to boost the nutrients (and not waste the whey) and pigs enjoy it as well (and so do many cats and dogs!). Whey can also be used in your hair as a clarifying conditioner (as can kefir). Whey, believe it or not, makes one of the best shaving lotions we have ever tried. It also serves as a nice ingredient in lip balms and lotions. Kefir can be used in place of yogurt, cream cheese or sour cream in many recipes. It can also be made into delicious popsicles. Whey can also be used in place of vinegar (often with a more beneficial affect) in many cases such as to soak grains, soften rice, add to soups and stocks (to help extract the nutrients from the bones) or use in place of some of the salt in making fermented vegetables such as sauerkraut. Kefir whey also keeps far longer than the normal unfermented whey seperated from milk.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"yith-faqs-copy\" href=\"#\" data-faq=\"https:\/\/kefir.link\/en\/faq\/#faq-6804\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"hover-text\">Copy link<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"success-text\">Copied!<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"faq-6791\" class=\"yith-faqs-item icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon yfwp-caret-square-o-down\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>What should Kefir Grains look like?<\/b>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Kefir grains typically look a lot like little cauliflower florets.

Milk quality and type <br>Ultra-high temperature sterilized milk (UHT), milk powder and long-lasting milk. These milks contain lower nutrients, making it difficult for the bacteria to obtain adequate nutrients. If you use plant milk for a long time, its composition may not meet the nutrients required by the grains, so you need to use fresh milk regularly to supplement its nutrition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Temperature factor <br>Grains usually ferment best at temperatures between 20\u201330 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is too low, the metabolic rate of the grains will slow down; if the temperature is too high, the stress on the grains may be too great, affecting growth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Fermentation time <br>If the fermentation time is insufficient, the grains will not obtain enough nutrients and will not be able to proliferate. On the contrary, if the fermentation time is too long and excessive acidity is produced, the grains may be stressed due to an overly acidic environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4.

Making sure they remain on the smaller side, and that they are not encrusted or dry helps them to have as much access to milk as possible, so they can propagate more quickly. Adding a little whole cream can sometimes give them a boost as well.

Just like you can mark the seasons with a tree budding, growing, turning colors and discarding its leaves, kefir also will constantly be in flux and going through seasonal patterns. Kefir will ferment much more quickly in the summer and warmer temperatures. It will be thinner and may be more lumpy or inconsistent as well. It may especially be inconsistent during spring and fall, or whenever there is a large disparity of temperatures (such as a cold night and hot day). Kefir will tend to be more creamy and mild in the winter and cooler temperatures (and more zesty and sour in the summer). Part of the beauty of the symbiotic nature of kefir is that each strain has a certain strength and weakness. Together, they are able to ferment at a wide range of temperatures. Keeping this in miind, you will realize that because of this, a certain temperature will allow some strains to perform much better, while others may be temporarily suppressed. This contributes to the differing tastes and textures of kefir throughout the year. Some people notice it is more cheesy in the winter (possibly due to the certain yeast and other strains being stronger), while in the summer it may be more bread-ish and light in flavor.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"yith-faqs-copy\" href=\"#\" data-faq=\"https:\/\/kefir.link\/en\/faq\/#faq-6819\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"hover-text\">Copy link<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"success-text\">Copied!<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"faq-6818\" class=\"yith-faqs-item icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon yfwp-caret-square-o-down\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>What is the orange or hard crust discoloration on the surface of kefir grains?<\/b>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Kefir grains can sometimes get encrusted by the fat of the milk. This can happen when the milk is not changed regularly, or if you have been using your grains in cream to ferment sour cream etc. It can also be a result of drying out too much. Dried kefir grains can appear to have this because their outer layer was the most exposed during drying. Using non-homogenized milk (cream floats to the top) can also expose the grains to excess fat, especially if they are not stirred back into the milk once in awhile during the fermenting process. Once they start to grow, this will slowly disappear. In all these cases it is best to place your grains in a bowl of fresh cool water (or kefir) and gently rub them free of their crust with your fingers. You can also toss them in a blender to open them up and expose fresh, un-crusted sides (which will grow better and produce a better kefir). Resume fermenting, with regular milk changes.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"yith-faqs-copy\" href=\"#\" data-faq=\"https:\/\/kefir.link\/en\/faq\/#faq-6818\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"hover-text\">Copy link<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"success-text\">Copied!<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"faq-6817\" class=\"yith-faqs-item icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon yfwp-caret-square-o-down\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>Why do my Kefir Grains look like ribbons?<\/b>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In response to very hot weather we have found that they can stretch out, looking like shreds of ribbons. This can also happen when there is overcrowding in the jar or not enough fat in the milk, squishing or pressing the grains (or blending them) or a combination of all 4 of these factors. Our hypothesis is that they are just adapting to a more rapidly depleted food source, and stretching themselves to look for more nutrients. This does not mean they are unhealthy, it is simply their way of adapting to reach more food. Sometimes it simply seems to be a response to warmer weather and they are slightly more &#8216;relaxed&#8217;, and then binding and coiling upon themselves more in the colder weather. You can try giving it more milk, a less crowded environment (take out some of the grains) or a cooler area to ferment and they will usually return to forming a more coiled shape again. When straining, try not to squish or squeeze the grains with your hands or spoon.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"yith-faqs-copy\" href=\"#\" data-faq=\"https:\/\/kefir.link\/en\/faq\/#faq-6817\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"hover-text\">Copy link<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"success-text\">Copied!<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"faq-6816\" class=\"yith-faqs-item icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon yfwp-caret-square-o-down\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>What causes grains to change appearance or shape?<\/b>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A change in temperature, season, milk brand or %, or space\/milk quantity can all affect grain appearance and shape.

Because of different proteins, fat amounts or minerals available in different milk %&#8217;s or brands, grains can change appearance or shape. Changing temperatures can also dramatically change the shape of kefir grains. Also, the amount of milk available will have an affect (more milk being desirable) on the grains.

Most kefir grains encapsulate some of the carbon dioxide gas that the yeasts give off while fermenting. Also, some grains have less density than the milk, and simply float. Some will be dense enough though (and manage to avoid capturing bubbles) that they sink. Typically if the grains are very bacteria rich or lacking yeast, they may stay at the bottom most or all of the ferment. This can happen after a transit or a rest in the fridge. If you are using dried milk powder, and all the grains are at the top, simply add some more water to increase the density which will allow the grains to relax a bit. Sometimes grains that have been subjected to severe freezer burn, high heat or their outer layer is too encrusted and hard from being dried (or old), also float (and they may not be able to be revived). In this case these grains will usually have a darker color and less soft and sponge-like texture. It is best to see if these are able to propagate new grains (though they themselves may not recover) or toss them if no growth or kefiring is achievable with them. If they reproduce new grains, then you can toss them once you have enough of the new grains (you will be able to still visibly tell which ones are the old, darker ones to be tossed).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"yith-faqs-copy\" href=\"#\" data-faq=\"https:\/\/kefir.link\/en\/faq\/#faq-6814\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"hover-text\">Copy link<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"success-text\">Copied!<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"faq-6813\" class=\"yith-faqs-item icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon yfwp-caret-square-o-down\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>What are the tiny sticky threads between my kefir grains?<\/b>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>When you move kefir grains apart from one another you may notice some sticky thread-like strings hanging and stretching between them (think pulling a pizza slice and its dangling cheese strings).

You may notice even more during the summer, or if you&#8217;re trying a new milk. These will often change over time and from season to season, coming and going. This polysaccharide is part of what makes kefir creamy. It is similar to the same compounds found in starch, cellulose, gum and glycogen. Bacteria, fungi and algae have all adopted an ability to produce this as a form of protection from drying out, reproducing and adhering to their food source more efficiently. This promotes viscosity in the kefir and is also soothing to the digestive system (aloe vera juice and gel contains copious amounts of polysaccharides).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"yith-faqs-copy\" href=\"#\" data-faq=\"https:\/\/kefir.link\/en\/faq\/#faq-6813\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"hover-text\">Copy link<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"success-text\">Copied!<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"faq-6812\" class=\"yith-faqs-item icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon yfwp-caret-square-o-down\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>Do kefir grains have a milk preference?<\/b>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The short answer is yes, they prefer what milk they are used to, but they will gradually and happily adapt to new milks.<\/p>\n<p>If they are produced in goat milk, their preference will be whole goat milk, if cow milk, they will prefer whole cow milk.

Just as all people are humans, but none are exactly alike, kefir also varies from one to the next. Some kefir grains ferment more quickly than others, some more tangy, some more sweet, and some more fizzy. You will see that your kefir grains will be continuously morphing themselves from season to season and year to year. The balance between the bacteria and yeast will not only change the way the grains act but also look. Also how much room they have in the jar will can also change the way they look. Generally if the ferment is more bacteria rich (and slower) or when the grains have plenty of room in the jar, they will naturally grow larger. Part of the kefir process is learning to let go of the desire to keep them exactly the same (no matter what you do, they will be in a constant state of growth and change) and learning to look forward to its many surprises, just like raising a pet or child.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"yith-faqs-copy\" href=\"#\" data-faq=\"https:\/\/kefir.link\/en\/faq\/#faq-6808\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"hover-text\">Copy link<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"success-text\">Copied!<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"faq-6807\" class=\"yith-faqs-item icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"yith-faqs-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"icon yfwp-caret-square-o-down\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>Kefir grains should only look like cauliflower?
