About Our Water Kefir on Phuket island in Thailand
Also referred to as tibicos, Japanese water crystals, or ‘tibi’, ginger-beer plant, Japanese beer seeds, and many other world names, Water Kefir is a probiotic liquid associated with various health benefits, including to improve immunity.
Once fermented, Water kefir is laden 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! Even though the strains vary from culture to culture, nearly 70 kinds of microorganisms are available 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 Fermenting 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 because the sugar and minerals is consumed by the Water Kefir grains to produce mainly simpler sugars, beneficial bacteria, yeasts, lactic acid bacteria (LAB), acetic acid bacteria (AAB), Proteins, carbon dioxide, along with enzymes, and also B and K vitamins.
