Frequently Asked Questions
Is making your own kefir milk difficult?
Not at all! You just need to obtain kefir grains, add them to milk, allow it to culture for 24-48 hours, then strain out the grains to reuse. Very easy and you control the ingredients.
Can you drink too much kefir milk?
It's generally safe to drink daily but start slow if new to it. Too much too fast may cause temporary gas or bloating as your body adjusts to the probiotics. Follow suggested serving sizes and adjust based on your tolerance.
Does kefir milk need to be refrigerated?
Yes, it's important to refrigerate kefir milk to slow the fermentation process and probiotic breakdown. Store bought kefir milk should be handled like regular milk. Homemade should be strained from grains first before chilling in an airtight container.
