Water Kefir Mackay This delicious fermented beverage is now available in Mackay. Water Kefir

Q. What is Water Kefir? A. Q. What ingredients go into making water kefir?

Water kefir is a fermented probiotic beverage made with water kefir grains. Our product is natural with no artificial flavours, colourings or preservatives. Ingredients consist of water kefir grains, filtered water, sugar, lemon, lemon grass, ginger, fig and black strap molasses. Why is kefir good for your health? It is loaded with valuable enzymes, beneficial bacteria (probiotics), vitamins and m

inerals. Probiotics support proper digestion, synthesis of vitamins and minerals, and your immune system by warding off foreign and harmful bacteria, yeast and viruses. It has thus long been known to promote and aid in digestion and overall health. What is the advantage of taking Kefir instead of a probiotic supplement? Fermented products such as kefir are considered functional foods because they offer enzymes, pre-digested nutrients, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, calories/energy and billions of probiotics. Probiotic pill supplements contain just one or a select variety of bacteria, and usually that's it. It's always better to eat something in its whole form when possible, because each part makes the other more digestible. What strains of yeast and probiotic bacteria does water kefir contain? The probiotics can vary with each batch as the strains may include numerous subspecies and variants. Water kefir is typically composed of billions of beneficial bacteria from the following strains such as Acetobacter, Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Pediococcus and Leuconostoc bacteria with yeasts from Saccharomyces, Candida, Kloeckera and possibly other minor yeasts. How much water kefir should I drink? It’s smart to start fermented products in small amounts. Start with 1/8 cup per day and increase up to 1 cup over a couple of weeks. A usual amount is around 1-2 cups daily. Some people struggle with it at first, possibly because of the large population of probiotics. Drinking too much at first may have a cleansing effect. It is a wise idea to take it slowly to let your body and digestion get acquainted with it. Q: How long can I store the water kefir in the refrigerator? Up to 1 month

Q. How much alcohol does water kefir contain? As with all cultured and fermented foods, a small amount of naturally occurring alcohol is typically present in the finished product. However the amount is so small it is insignificant.

Hey there. 🥰
I mentioned yesterday about something I’ve been thinking about adding to my markets.

The idea I want to bring along is to provide cups with lids and straws, ice and soda water.
‘Grab and Go’ drinks.

The concept is for you all to have the option of grabbing a drink ‘on the go’ as such.

You would have the choice of what flavour kefir you like too, a great way to try them all!
This would be particularly handy for the warmer months too, where we all need to stay just that little bit extra hydrated.

Also - a great way to introduce kefir into your everyday life in a different way. Slightly diluted. But also super tasty and very refreshing.
I’m always carrying around a giant cup of this with me at home most days. 🙂

I’ll possibly be trialling this over the next few weeks to see if there’s interest around it to consider doing it long term.

Lemme know what you all think. 🤔

Cheers

Hello peoples!

I’ve been playing around with a new concept in my head for awhile now, and I’ll be incorporating it pretty soon into my markets each week.

Stay tuned, I reckon you are all going to like it. 🙂

How good are these lemons!? 🥰

I rarely need to buy them tbh due to amazing regulars/customers and friends of mine who supply me with theirs when in season.

But when I do purchase - I always the best I can find.
Quality is everything here when I t comes to kefir.
These ones may not be local, but the quality is top notch.

My Story

5 years ago I was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease. This was the start of my mission to learn as much about gut health as I could. Every spare chance I had, I would read about the gut microbiome and how it impacts upon our mental, emotional and physical health. Throughout my readings many people from many countries talked about an amazing drink which was full of natural probiotics. There were so many success stories, I had to find this drink. It is known by many names - Water Kefir, Tibicos, Japanese Water Crystal, Sea Rice, etc. I found a lady in Victoria who had some Water Kefir grains and she kindly sent me some so I could make the drink myself. I am healthier than I have ever been, and by sharing my grains and water kefir drink, I have already helped so many people with digestive issues and low immunity. My husband is very healthy and also can’t live without it. He was already feeling great before consuming it, but now he feels amazing! So you don’t have to be sick to consume it. Having a healthy gut really is the key to having a healthy life.
