Goat Kefir

-
First off I would like to point out that I did finish my trial of Lemon Grass Dry Soda... Not my cup of tea. But now for Goat Kefir.

You might be asking yourself what Kefir is, I did too. So I looked it up (after getting home and having been talked into trying it by the Whole Foods lady). It turns out that Kefir is a fermented milk drink that originated with the shepherds in the Northern Caucasus. And yet unlike other fermented drinks, Kefir does not have that rotten tastes some associate with fermented foods.

Originally the yogurt like drink (can almost be chewed... so it might be eaten more than drinking) was concocted by mixing milk with kefir grains. The grains naturally have large amounts of bacteria and yeast to start. But when mixed the two foods make a fermented (and mildly alcoholic) concoction similar to a thin but still very much yogurty mixture.
-
Modern methods yield only about 1 percent alcohol and yet still have that faint fermented flavor. The product is thick and creamy in its own unique way. And it is rather difficult to swallow if you take a large mouthful in at one time (as I did on my first attempt at "drinking" goat milk kefir.

I would suggest that if you like goats milk than you should definitely try goat milk kefir. I purchased Redwood Hill Farms Plain Goat Milk Kefir at Whole Foods for $5.99. And I'm pretty sure that you would have to go to a specialty store if you aren't looking at Whole Foods or Fresh Market.

This drink/food is definitely worth a try.
