Water Kefir Culture Kit
HISTORY: Water Kefir (keh-FEER) has many origin stories from all over the world. These cultures are distinct and separate from milk kefir grains but one origin possibility is that they came also from the Caucasus Mountains region where Milk Kefir is agreed to have originated. Tibetan monks once gave Mother Teresa of Calcutta the grains as a gift so it is quite possible for them to migrate through travels to Asia. However, the most likely possibility is though is Mexico. In 1899 it was documented that grain colonies were derived from the Ountia (the prickly pear) cactus and used to make beverages.
NUTRITIONAL INFO: Water Kefir is an enzyme, mineral, vitamin, and probiotic-rich. It has easily digestible sugars and beneficial acids. Many diabetics have reported good results in consuming water kefir but you should use your own personal investigation and discretion. For those who can't tolerate the low levels of caffeine in Kombucha, Water kefir is a good alternative.
Water Kefir has a long documented history of aiding digestion, managing free radicals in the body, and reducing blood pressure and cholesterol. For more information, Dr. Axe has compiled a good overview of some published studies of the benefits of water kefir. https://draxe.com/nutrition/water-kefir/
