A tangy, slightly fizzy fermented milk drink made with kefir grains, a mix of bacteria and yeasts.
- Baking ingredients and additives
Kefir is thinner than yogurt and more sour than buttermilk. It can replace buttermilk one-for-one in pancakes, muffins and cakes, adding tang and tenderness, and its acidity works with baking soda.
It is also blended into smoothies and used in no-bake desserts.
