Kefir
Kefir is a fermented milk drink that originated in the Caucasus Mountains, where it has been consumed for centuries. It is made by inoculating cow, goat, or sheep milk with kefir grains, a combination of bacteria and yeast. The resulting beverage has a tangy, slightly sour flavor with a refreshing effervescence. Its texture is creamy and smooth, akin to drinkable yogurt, though often less thick. In cooking, kefir behaves similarly to yogurt; it can add a tangy depth to dishes, tenderize proteins when used in marinades, and contribute to the rise of baked goods due to its acidity. Its live cultures also make it a probiotic powerhouse, beneficial for gut health.
