About Our Water Kefir on the island of Phuket
Also called tibicos, Japanese water crystals, or ‘tibi’, ginger-beer plant, Japanese beer seeds, and a number of other world names, Water Kefir is a probiotic liquid linked to various health advantages, including to improve immunity.
Once fermented, Water kefir is full of 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 kinds of microorganisms can be found in water kefir grains.
Studies show a 250 ml glass of water kefir can contain up to 2.5 billion good microorganisms. They are 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 Technique
Through our lacto-fermentation the Water Kefir micro-organisms consume the Organic cane sugar and minerals during fermentation. During this process the probiotic concentration (LAB, Amino acid and yeast probiotics) of the Water Kefir increases and the sucrose decreases as 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, carbon dioxide, along side enzymes, and also B and K vitamins.
