What is Kefir?

Lifeway Kefir is a “live and active cultured dairy beverage with a tart and tangy taste and creamy consistency. It originated over 2000 years ago in the Caucasus Mountains and is associated with good health.” (source)

It is a powerful probiotic – live microorganisms (good bacteria) that may support immunity and a healthy digestive system.

What are the benefits of Kefir?

There are several evidence-based health benefits related to whole milk kefir:

• More powerful probiotic than yogurt!
• Potent antibacterial properties
• Can improve bone health and lower risks of Osteoporosis
• Can improve overall digestion
• May be protective against cancer
• And more!

I've been using Lifeway's Whole Milk Kefir for years now. It's not only an essential in making salad dressings and smoothies, but it's my secret ingredient in making my cakes super moist and fluffy! If you ever wondered what's the key tip to making your favorite bakery's cake, well try adding kefir and you may just surprise yourself ;)
