Description

As it contains yeasts, kefir can be used to make a sourdough bread. It is also useful as a buttermilk substitute in baking. Kefir is one of the main ingredients in Lithuanian cold beet soup šaltibaršÄiai (Polish chÅ‚odnik), commonly known as cold borscht. Other variations of kefir soups and foods prepared with kefir are popular across the former Soviet Union and Poland. Kefir may be used in lieu of milk on cereal or granola.
