The origin of milk kefir is currently recognized as the Caucasus region in Central Asia, while the origin of water kefir is said to be in Mexico, Tibet, and other places. Q: What are "Kefir Grains"?A: Natural kefir is fermented using kefir grains, which are organic organisms that are naturally generated and will not melt. After the fermentation is complete, the kefir grains must be removed in order to continue the next round of production and fermentation. Q: What is a "Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast (SCOBY)"?A: A SCOBY is a "solid body" that is visible to the naked eye and is formed by the growth and aggregation of multiple microorganisms. These microorganisms live together and work together, like a small ecosystem. There is currently a hypothesis in science that the first life on Earth was a single-celled microorganism. However, individual microorganisms are vulnerable to changes in the environment and are prone to dying out. Therefore, at a key point in history, two microorganisms floating in the vast water happened to meet and decided to "hold hands" and live together. As time passed, the two microorganisms encountered more and more other microorganisms and gathered together, working together to survive in a changing environment. Thus, the prototype of the first "multicellular organism" was born at a sacred moment, gradually evolving into the various diverse creatures we have today, including humans. A SCOBY can be seen as the prototype of this "multicellular organism," the ancestor of countless living things today. In a broad sense, we humans are also a kind of symbiotic organism: thousands of microorganisms live symbiotically in our intestines, skin, nerves, and so on. Going back in time over 100 years to 1908, Nobel laureate in Physiology/Medicine Mechnikov mentioned in his seminal work "Prolongation of Life" about his exploration of the origin of kefir SCOBY. For more than 100 years since then, humans have continuously invested basic research resources to explore the relationship between symbiotic organisms and the human body, animals and plants, and the environment. -------------------------- 💕If you have any questions about fermentation, feel free to send a message to us. •This product is a fresh food and is not applicable for the 7-day product appreciation period under Article 19 of the Consumer Protection Act.
