Coconut kefir grains are a strange-looking substance that is used to make coconut milk kefir. They look like little white pieces of gelatinous, squishy rice. These coconut grains have many surprising uses other than making coconut milk kefir! This article will examine how these grains can be used in your cooking and everyday life!

Why is this important?

These coconut grains can be mixed into smoothies or food recipes to boost probiotics (healthy bacteria) in the diet! They also add beneficial enzymes which help with digestion when ingested by humans. These grains contain Lactobacillus acidophilus which helps maintain healthy gut flora (intestinal microorganisms) and fight intestinal infections.

The grains are first mixed with water for kefir to create coconut milk before being combined with sugar or fruit juice for flavor! This mixture is then fermented for 16-24 hours inside a jar covered in cheesecloth. The fermentation process allows these healthy bacteria to reproduce into even more probiotics which help maintain good health when ingested regularly by humans. These grains contain Lactobacillus acidophilus which helps maintain healthy gut flora (intestinal microorganisms). They also produce enzymes like lipase, phytase, xylanase, and proteases which assist our bodies’ natural ability to digest food properly!

These grains are also full of vitamin B12, which is essential for cell division and to form healthy red blood cells (help prevent anemia).
Beneficial coconut grains can be used in many different ways other than fermenting into coconut milk or coconut water. These little wonders may also be used to make coconut vinegar, coconut cream cheese, sour coconut cream, fresh buttermilk, gelatinous bone broth (gelatin), smoothies, and coconut oil may be added to coconut kefir.

Grains contain powerful probiotics and beneficial yeasts that can help balance gut bacteria (preventing leaky gut), fight infections, improve digestion and strengthen the immune system.
