Style

Kefir styles span traditional grain fermentation, commercial direct-set cultures, drinkable vs thick spoonable, sparkling, and flavoured vs plain. Style predicts fizz, sourness, and use. Traditional grain kefir is living and variable; commercial bottles are consistent. Flavoured kefirs add sugar—plain suits marinades and savoury uses.
