The kefir culture is a very fascinating process.
Basically, there are two kinds of kefir.
Water kefir are tiny clear grains that ferment sweetened water.
Kefir milk, on the other hand, are ivory colored grains that ferment milk.
Kefir milk grains resemble the vegetable cauliflower.
The process of making kefir from milk is not really that complex, and once perfectly cultured, it has the quality to multiply itself endlessly.
This is because kefir is a living culture, good bacteria forming cauliflower-like structures or grains in milk.
As the kefir culture ferments the milk, new grains are created.
The power of drinking kefirgoes way back, when shepherds of the Caucasus Mountains carried milk in their leather pouches.
It was a fortunate accident when the milk would ferment and turn sour.
As early as that time, they already discovered the health benefits of drinking kefir milk.
They used it to cure certain illnesses.
However, it was a noble prize winning biologist who really delved into and got interested in the kefir culture, and suggested that probiotic would do wonders for the human body.
You can experience your own kefir culture in the comfort of your own home.
You will only need kefir grains, which you can buy online or ask from someone who is already culturing his own kefir, a container and milk.
You need to have the grains as starters.
The culture time takes a while but with the health benefits you'll get from kefir and kefir grains, I'm sure you won't mind the wait.
