No, but for real.
This study came out about a week ago, and it's one of the first to use non-culturing methods to identify microbial populations in water kefir grains. Super important--
when researchers did that to ladies' coochie snorchers, they discovered organisms that they never imagined were part of
the vagina forest. Besides the obvs (Lactobacilli), they found a heck of a lot of Bifidobacterium strains in kefir samples, which is promising for those with digestive issues.
I ordered some kefir grains from a random seller on etsy. By chance, he lives less than 20 minutes away from me, so the kefir grains pictured above contain fairly local microbes. I reconstituted them earlier this week, and now I'm making my first batch of kefir.
Anyway, I am super excited for the microbial revolution to start in my digestive tract. Will let you know how it goes.
