What are the benefits of eating Kefir?
Usually kefir refers to the fermented milk drink (fermented by kefir grains), so you would drink kefir. It is a fermented milk, but it would contain pro-biotics in addition to calcium (it may be lower in some vitamins if the fermentation uses them), it still contains lactose as well. If you are referring to eating kefir grains, note firstly it is not a grain per se (like wheat), but more a starter for fermentation. You would find that eating them may be beneficial to your digestive tract, or it may have no effect. Since people generally use kefir to ferment drinks, it is not usually used on its own, thus information is scarce for eating kefir grains on their own.
