Ingredient Insights: Kefir explores kefir as the new rising ingredient. The report looks at kefir's history, utilization and sectors where the ingredient has the highest relevancy.
Kefir is a type of fermented milk, produced from cow's, sheep's, or goat's milk. The drink is a combination of milk and kefir grains and is produced by adding bacteria and yeast cultures to milk, which then proceed to feed on natural sugars included in this dairy product, allowing for the fermentation process to occur. Kefir has a similar consistency to buttermilk or drinkable yogurt and has a characteristic tangy and tart flavor.
