The Right Way to Drink Kefir
Strain the Kefir – Use a plastic or stainless steel strainer to separate the grains from the liquid after fermentation.
Drink Only the Fermented Liquid – This is where the probiotics and nutrients are in a safe, balanced form.
Reuse the Grains – Store them in fresh milk to keep the culture alive for the next batch.
Why This Matters
The beauty of kefir is in its balance — the liquid contains beneficial bacteria and yeasts in proportions your body can handle. Eating the grains disrupts that balance and can make your first kefir experience an unpleasant one.
Bottom line: Enjoy kefir as it’s meant to be — strain, sip, and savor. Leave the grains to do their job so you can enjoy batch after batch of probiotic goodness.
