Kéfir is a milk-cultured beverage containing probiotics and beneficial yeast (Trust me: kéfir tastes better than that description might lead you to believe.) HPC offers plain and flavored kéfir in large and single-serving bottles. However, it’s easy to make at home using yo’gourmet’s starter. No machine is required. Each packet makes a quart of kéfir and there are six packets to a box. Yo’gourmet is a Canadian company and they make a buttermilk starter, too. For more info, visit the web site of Lyo-san, the manufacturer of Yogourmet products.
