The flavour of kefir can vary from product to product, depending on whether you are enjoying a thin, clear and drinkable kefir water or a thicker kefir yoghurt, and depending on the base liquid used in fermentation – milk, water, coconut water or an alternative milk.
However, all kefir products have the trademark ferment tang, sometimes described as a less sweet, tarter yoghurt or buttermilk flavour.
With numerous flavoured kefirs available, from raspberry to rhubarb or passionfruit, even those who do not enjoy the typically slightly sour taste of kefir can take advantage of its high levels of calcium and protein.
