Plain Kefir Quart

Plain Kefir

A Traditional Cultured Dairy Drink

Kefir has been enjoyed for generations as a simple way to transform fresh milk into something wonderfully creamy, refreshing and full of cultured flavor.

Elmer & Sarah’s Plain Kefir is made with milk from grass-fed cows and carefully cultured until it develops its characteristic tang. Its consistency falls somewhere between milk and drinkable yogurt: smooth enough to pour and enjoy by the glass, but with more body, richness and flavor than ordinary milk.

Unlike sweetened, fruit-flavored kefir, this plain variety lets the naturally cultured dairy flavor come through. It is pleasantly tart without being overpowering, making it equally useful as a refreshing drink and a versatile kitchen staple.

What Makes Kefir Different?

Kefir and yogurt are both cultured dairy foods, but they are not quite the same. Traditional yogurt is generally thick enough to eat with a spoon, while kefir remains pourable and is meant to be sipped, blended or added to recipes.

The culturing process gives kefir a deeper, more complex flavor than fresh milk. If you enjoy yogurt but want something easier to drink or blend into breakfast, plain kefir is a wonderful option to keep on hand.

More Than a Breakfast Drink

Enjoy it cold by the glass, or pair its creamy tang with fruit, berries, honey or maple syrup. Because it is plain and unflavored, you decide exactly what to add and how sweet to make it.

Its acidity and creamy consistency also make plain kefir exceptionally useful in everyday cooking.

Try it:

Blended with fresh or frozen fruit
Poured over granola or muesli
Stirred into overnight oats
Lightly sweetened with honey or maple syrup
Whisked with herbs for a creamy dressing
Used as the base for dips and sauces
Added to marinades for chicken or pork
Substituted for buttermilk in pancakes, biscuits and other recipes

Simple, Cultured and Versatile

Whether you already enjoy cultured dairy or are trying kefir for the first time, this is an easy product to make part of your routine. One quart provides enough for several glasses, breakfasts or recipes without taking up too much room in the refrigerator.
