Plain kefir is a fermented dairy beverage known for its tangy taste and smooth texture. Originating from the Caucasus region, it has been enjoyed for centuries in Eastern European and Middle Eastern cuisines. Made by fermenting milk with kefir grains, which are a combination of yeast and bacteria, kefir is a rich source of probiotics that support gut health and digestion. It’s also packed with essential nutrients like calcium, protein, and B-vitamins. Plain kefir is naturally low in lactose, making it easier to digest for individuals with lactose sensitivity. Additionally, it contains minimal added sugars, which makes it a healthier alternative to flavored varieties. However, as a dairy product, kefir does contain cholesterol and saturated fats, so moderation is advised for those monitoring these aspects of their diet. Versatile and nutritious, plain kefir can be consumed on its own or used in smoothies, dressings, and baked goods.
