Can any one tell me the alcohol content of Kefir, (if any)?
I do not want to introduce alcohol in any way, shape or form into my diet on a daily basis.
Thank you in advance 🙂

Hi Kim,
Kefir does contain a small amount of alcohol, as it is a fermented beverage. The alcohol content is usually very low, typically ranging from 0.2% to 1.0%, depending on the fermentation process, the type of milk used, and how long it ferments. However, it’s important to note that the exact amount can vary between homemade and commercially produced kefir.

If you’re avoiding alcohol entirely, you may want to consider non-alcoholic alternatives to kefir, such as probiotic supplements or non-fermented dairy options like yogurt with live cultures. You can also experiment with fermenting kefir for a shorter time, as this can reduce alcohol production, but this requires careful monitoring.

I hope this helps! If you’re considering introducing kefir into your diet, double-check the labeling on commercial products or consult with a nutritionist to ensure it aligns with your dietary needs.

Regards,
Jad
