4worldlovers: The word “Kefir” is thought to have originated from the Turkish word "Keif" which loosely means "good feeling". That sums up nicely the feeling one gets after drinking kefir.

Kefir is fermented milk using a natural starter called kefir grains. Also known as milk kefir, this traditional popular Middle Eastern beverage has been gaining popularity all over the world. This is due to the various touted health benefits drinking kefir brings.

Kefir contains vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids that help the body with healing and maintenance functions and also contains easily digestible complete proteins. The benefits of consuming kefir in the diet are indeed numerous.

Kefir is popularly believed to have originated centuries ago from the shepherds of the Caucasus mountain region. The people of this area, the Caucasians, were known to make kefir by adding kefir grains to goat or cow's milk and letting it ferment for days inside a goatskin leather bag.

In the last century, kefir has become increasingly popular in Russia and in the former Soviet states. Today, its popularity is still growing as countries like Czechoslovakia, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland and Denmark are manufacturing kefir on a commercial scale.


Traditional, authentic kefir drinks can only be prepared by culturing fresh milk or sugary-water with live kefir grains. Making kefir with live grains is simply the BEST choice compared with purchasing ready made kefir or using a powder form starter culture. However, for some, circumstances may make this impossible, in which case these other options will still provide some benefits.
