Common questions

Is Kefir healthy?

Kefir scores 97/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Kefir?

Kefir lists 2 ingredients, starting with Pasteurized Grade a Milk and Cultures. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Kefir contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Kefir’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Kefir?

Kefir is NOVA group 1: unprocessed or minimally processed. NOVA runs 1 to 4, where 1 is whole food and 4 is ultra-processed.

How does Kefir compare to other yogurt?
