Zipongo Buzz
- Marco Polo mentions kefir in recounting his travels.
- Kefir is a fermented milk drink that originated with shepherds of the North Caucasus region, who discovered that fresh milk carried in leather pouches would occasionally ferment into an effervescent beverage. It is prepared by inoculating cow, goat, or sheep's milk with kefir grains.
- Traditional kefir was made in skin bags that were hung near a doorway; the bag would be knocked by anyone passing through the doorway to help keep the milk and kefir grains well mixed.
- Production of traditional kefir requires a starter community of kefir grains. Kefir grains cannot be produced from scratch, but can be bought from or donated by other growers.

The Full Scoop
Kee-fer? Keh-fer?
Clover Kefir tastes like drinkable yogurt. There's nothing weird or scary about it. It's not one of those gross-tasting things that health nuts choke down in spite of the taste. It's like eating yogurt, without the spoon. It also comes in four yummy, kid-friendly flavors--Traditional Plain, Perfect Blueberry, Pomegranate Strawberry Acai, and Mango Orange Pineapple.
Kefir is all the rage right now because people have discovered that it's more than just drinkable yogurt. It doesn't just have live and active cultures like yogurt--it has 10 live and active probiotic cultures, and is loaded with vitamins, minerals, and easily digested protein. It can even be consumed by many lactose intolerant people, because because the yeast and bacteria provide lactase, an enzyme which consumes most of the lactose left after the culturing process. Clover Organic Kefir is gluten free, an excellent source of protein and calcium, and low in sodium.
Try kefir on its own, or throw it in the blender with your favorite fruit for a creamy, probiotic smoothie!
