Kefir

If you want good poops just eat psyllium husks.

Kombucha cultures, like water and milk kefir, are a symbiotic mix of yeasts and bacteria. You get both.

>drinking kombucha
>literally ingesting Candida
Pick two.

>This is the first report showing Candida as the most dominating yeast genus during Kombucha fermentation.

>The yeast community of the biofilm did not show much variation over time and was dominated by Candida sp. (73.5-83%).

Kek, so it makes you shit good cause it irritates your digestive system?
May as well just drink a bottle of hot sauce then.

That sounds like beer. Is it beer?

The ethanol is mostly consumed by the culture to make acids, giving it the sour taste.

I don't know if Candida irritates the digestive system but it has cancer-promoting properties

>most recent findings demonstrate that C. albicans is capable of promoting cancer by several mechanisms, as described in the review: production of carcinogenic byproducts, triggering of inflammation, induction of Th17 response and molecular mimicry.

Candida fucks your shit up in general, can make you lose hair or accelerate male pattern baldness, wrecks havoc in your hormonal balance by increasing estrogen, etc.

Then why fucking bother?

>ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26796581
>The soup however, showed a significant shift in dominance from Candida sp. to Lachancea sp. on the 7th day of fermentation
> The bacterial diversity was higher in the soup than in the biofilm with a peak on the seventh day of fermentation.

Don't read your own source or anything before you post, brainlet.

>the soup

Is your kombucha a fucking soup retard ?

Also, even if there is more diversity than only Candida in the end-product, you're still one uber brainlet to ingest something with any % of Candida in it.

You drink the liquid it grows in, not the mother itself.

Yeah and the liquid has a bacterial population that includes literal Candida.

Why do you think this shit is promoted by liberals and hipsters who have degenerate sexuality, Candida is also linked to homosexuality.

>muh earth mother

It's tasty.

Debatable.
Go make a glass of tea, chill it, add a tablespoon or so of apple cider vinegar, and then add sugar to taste and you're got a test drive of kombucha.
I recommend you just buy beer instead. If it's bottled with live yeast you can swirl the bottle to get your "probiotics" mixed in.

It's like America wants me to eat burgers and become fat

What is the difference between real kefir and the stuff they sell at the grocery stores? I've been buying 'kefir' for the past month or so but it pretty much tastes like drinkable, slightly sour yogurt. Is this not the real deal?

usually has added sugar
usually not made with the same kind of culture (kefir is made with "grains" that sit in the milk, the shit you can buy has powdered culture mixed in)

Just buy some kefir grains and then add milk or water depending on the type and just wait a day and it is good to drink after separating the grains, which can be reused for more kefir. It is much cheaper to make your own and allows you to make any type of fruit/veg smoothie if you want to. I drink about 4 cups (~.95 L?) every day because it tastes good and has decent macros (~320 calories, 20g Fat, 4g Carbs, 32g protein for 4 cups)

Its "kefir" in as much as Bud Light is "beer"

I brew a gallon of kefir every day for the family for the next day. We go through a gallon a day. I'll have a glass at breakfast, and the kids will quite literally start fights over it if someone takes more than their share.

I bought the 5 year old a bottle of kefir a few months ago at the grocery store because he saw it.
>paying for the groceries
>he opens it
>takes a sip
>"daddy this tastes like crap"
If you get the real stuff you should definitely make kefir cheese.
>ferment it like usual
>separate the grains
>leave in wide container on counter loosely covered to continue to ferment
>curds will separate from whey
>pour out whey (my dogs go fucking crazy for it)
>let curds come together some more
>wrap up in two or three layers of cheesecloth
>hang over bowl to drain
once it has the texture of cream cheese put it into a bowl and start folding in some salt and herbs. I prefer garlic and onion. refridgerate for up to a week.

My mother makes it everyday for the past 10 years or so. Pretty comfy.
I wonder how calorie dense it is.

Is water kefir worth it? I was thinking of buying some but does it just taste like tangy water or something? I usually make cow milk kefir and plan to move up to goat milk kefir once I graduate from uni and get a comfy job

>tvorog

I'm always worried that if I ever move abroad that there won't be any quark (germanfag here)

How does it taste? Amerilard here that has never heard of this but it seems to be really good for protein, about 12g/70 calories. I can't find it at any nearby stores, is it worth it to make some?

It's cottage cheese, you sheltered young man

Nah man, cottage cheese is sth else. We got that here in Germany as well.

To be honest quark tastes incredibly bland and dry all by itself. Of course you can mix it with a bit of milk/honey/oats/fruits and so on. I always eat 500g in the evening. If you have the option to do it yourself, why not give it a try? Probably it will taste way better than that cheap shit I am buying

Im in Moscow for the whole month. Where and how do I buy some kefir grains? Can I take them out of the country?

Bump of desperation

I have literally never seen quark IRL and only heard about it on the internet for the first time when I was a teenager

t. american

> you sheltered young man

Am canadian and can confirm with ameribro that I have literally never seen quark in my entire life, and nobody around here has ever heard of it either. No it isn't cottage cheese either, at least not like what we have here.

Quark and cottage cheese is not the same thing, you sheltered retard

It's got a similar flavor to kombucha. I make mine with those raw sugar bricks (panela) you can get in the mexican/hispanic isle and it's fucking delicious and molassesey but not sweet.

Just order them online. It's like $10 for more than enough to get started.
