Cow

Cow kefir is the widely available fermented milk drink—grain or commercial culture fermented cow milk, pourable, tangy, sometimes lightly sparkling. Fat levels range from low-fat to full-fat; protein-fortified versions target sports markets. Shake, drink cold, or use in smoothies and marinades. Stronger ferments taste yeasty and sharp; mild commercial kefirs are closer to thin yoghurt drinks.
