About Our Water Kefir on the island of Phuket
Also called tibicos, Japanese water crystals, or ‘tibi’, ginger-beer plant, Japanese beer seeds, and many other world names, Water Kefir is just a probiotic liquid linked to various health benefits, including to improve immunity.
Once fermented, Water kefir is loaded with probiotics, valuable enzymes, beneficial acids, magnesium, folate, vitamin k, electrolytes, B-vitamins (including B-12) and many minerals.
Water Kefir also contains a wide variety of beneficial probiotics! Although the strains vary from culture to culture, nearly 70 varieties of microorganisms is found in water kefir grains.
Studies show a 250 ml glass of water kefir can contain as much as 2.5 billion good microorganisms. They're mainly separated into three categories:
Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, S. florentinus, S. pretoriensis, etc.)
Lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus casei/paracasei, L.b. harbinensis, L.b. hilgardii, etc.)
and Acetic acid bacteria (A. orientalis, A. lovaniensis and A. fabarium, etc.)
Water Kefir Fermentation Method
Through our lacto-fermentation the Water Kefir micro-organisms consume the Organic cane sugar and minerals during fermentation. During this method the probiotic concentration (LAB, Amino acid and yeast probiotics) of the Water Kefir increases and the sucrose decreases whilst the sugar and minerals is consumed by the Water Kefir grains to create mainly simpler sugars, beneficial bacteria, yeasts, lactic acid bacteria (LAB), acetic acid bacteria (AAB), Amino acids, co2, along with enzymes, and also B and K vitamins.
