Real Kefir Yogourmet Starter Fermento

Overview

Real Kefir Yogourmet Starter Fermento is a freeze-dried starter culture used to make traditional kefir at home. Kefir is a fermented milk drink packed with probiotics, beneficial bacteria, and yeast that promote gut health and overall well-being.

Key Benefits

• Probiotics: Contains a high concentration of active bacterial cultures and lactic yeasts, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, which support digestive health and strengthen the immune system.
• Easy to Use: The starter is designed for convenience, allowing you to make kefir at room temperature without the need for specialized equipment.
• Versatile: Can be used with various types of milk, including lactose-free and some soy beverages. However, it is not suitable for use with coconut, almond, or rice milk.

Usage Instructions

1. Prepare the Milk: Heat one liter of milk to 180°F (82°C), then let it cool to room temperature (73-77°F or 23-25°C).
2. Mix the Starter: Dissolve 5 grams of the kefir starter in a small amount of lukewarm milk.
3. Combine and Incubate: Add the dissolved starter back into the liter of milk, mix well, and pour into a clean, airtight container. Leave it at room temperature for about 24 hours to ferment.
4. Refrigerate: Once the kefir has thickened, refrigerate for about 8 hours to stop the fermentation process. Stir before serving.

Storage

Store the kefir starter in a cool, dry place. Once prepared, homemade kefir can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 weeks.

Health Benefits

• Digestive Health: Kefir is rich in probiotics, which help maintain a healthy gut microbiota and improve digestion.
• Immune Support: Regular consumption of kefir can boost your immune system due to its high probiotic content and presence of vitamins such as B1, B12, and K2.
• Anti-Inflammatory: The probiotics in kefir can reduce inflammation in the body, benefiting overall health.
• Flavoring: Add honey, maple syrup, or fruit puree to your kefir just before serving to enhance its taste.
• Multiple Batches: You can use a small amount of homemade kefir to start subsequent batches, though this may alter the texture and taste over time.
