what is the carb content in Kefir?

The carb content of kefir is going to be whatever the carb content of the milk is that you used to make it. The sugars in the milk turn into bacteria and yeasts, which are technically counted as carbs, but they don't metabolize the same way that sugars do.

I would assume it would be whatever your milk carb count is? Unless, as the kefir is 'grown', it changes that chemical composition (& carbs) but my mind would think not .... However I'm no scientist. :)

Coconut kefir is listed on all low carb, Paleo sites as very limited carb count as long as you don't add sugar. If you like it sweeter add stevia extract. Coconut milk is high in medium chain fatty acids, making it easier to utilize fat burning in your body. It will not raise your boos sugar.

The kefir grains themselves are bacteria and yeast. looking up yeast online it is mostly protein In a ratio of 8 grams protein to 5 grams carbohydrate (4 grams fiber 1 gram sugar). One cup of whole milk (which is the recommended milk if you're going to get a good growth of your grains) has 11 g of carbs and about 8 grams each of protein and fat.

The carb count does not remain the same as the original milk carbs. Fermentation (culturing in the case of dairy) reduces the sugars (carbs)...as the kefir grains feed off the sugars (not the fat). As the sugars are reduced the taste becomes more and more sour. A shorter ferment, milder tasting kefir (some people prefer short for the taste) will have more carbs than a longer more fully fermented, more tart kefir.

That is an impossible question to answer. The kefir itself has no carbs. So the carb content depends on how long you leave it in the milk how much fat is in the milk to begin with and how much milk you use. The kefir lives off of the fat in the milk. By consuming the fat it lowers the carb count. It converts the fat to probiotics. Think of it like photosynthesis. Plants turn carbon dioxide into oxygen the more plants the more oxygen. Kefir converts the fat to probiotics the more kefir and the longer it sits the less fat. So therefore less carbs.

For a sweeter kefir only ferment the grains for 24 hours. The longer you leave the graing fermenting the more sugar the grains consume leaving you with a more vinegary flavor. As to the fizz, don't leave your second ferment tightly covered and you will have a flat drink....similar to what happens with soda pop.

per serving: 5 grams carbs and 5 grams fiber, so the net carb load is 0. very important for me as a diabetic. I've checked with my bloodmeter and it has no effect on my numbers whatsoever. hope that helps.

You can go to the sellers Facebook page for a great video that will answer your question. I use 3 cups of whole organic milk (not ULTRA pasteurized) to about 2 TBLSP of kefir grains. There are lots of great videos on youtube as well.

The kefir grains are not dehydrated. However, it may take a day or two for them to recover from not being submerged in milk during the shipping process. My grains did ferment on the first day, but they were at full strength on day two.

Nothing is listed on the package specifically for carb content, but it does list Crude Fiber as 15%. Also, the amount of the product given to the cat is based on the animal's weight, and that range is anywhere from one-fourth to one teaspoon. Feeding instructions recommend starting with a small amount due to the high fiber content. Hope this helps!

I am sorry but I do not know if you can substitute kefir for yogurt. Perhaps Aroma can answer your question. They are quite helpful.

After some research, this is what I found: kefir grains are carbohydrates of bacterial origin produced by lactobacilli from within the matrix, forming sheet-like structures that become a grain.

I have used the powder in a bread machine to add richness and protein, but rehydrated would probably be best, if you are trying a new recipe. Kefir, I have never made, so can't help you there.
