Kefir Nutrient Profile .

Kefir is a fermented  milk drink , cultured from kefir grains and is highly nutritious .

Below I give a low down on the nutrient profile of kefir . A 175 ml (6 oz) serving of milk kefir contains :

• Protein: 6 grams.
• Calcium: 20% of the RDA.
• Phosphorus: 20% of the RDA.
• Vitamin B12: 14% of the RDA.
• Riboflavin (B2): 19% of the RDA.
• Magnesium: 5% of the RDA.
• A decent amount of vitamin D.

This is coming with about 100 calories( if made from full fat milk ) , 7-8 grams of carbs and 3-6 grams of fat, depending on the type of milk that is used.
Kefir also contains a wide variety of bioactive compounds, including organic acids and peptides that contribute to its health benefits .
Dairy milk kefir has  most nutrients rich benefits than any other type of kefir . To gain optimum health benefits it is always advisable to have milk kefir .

Bottom Line: Kefir is a rich source of calcium, protein and B-vitamins.
