What is water kefir?

Water kefir grains are a special set of friendly bacteria colony that can ferment sugary liquid into a healthy probiotic. Our water grains come from South America. They are big and easy to manage. Just feed them some jaggery water every day, and it will give you a fizzy, soda-like drink.

Water kefir is a symbiotic culture of dozens of strains of bacteria and yeast. The microbes present in the grain maintains the stability of the culture through their symbiotic action, i.e. the bacteria dependent on each other for their survival. It is the same set of friendly bacteria you find in the human gut.

A scientific study also suggested these grains were first formed on the pad of a prickly pear, also known as Tibi in Mexico. The grains fed on the carbohydrates present in the leaves of the plant and the natives used it to ferment the juice of prickly pear.

Thanks to the tropical weather of our country. These grains can ferment a litre of drink within a day. Taking care of the grains is easy and takes little time.
