Description

Plain kefir offers a tangy, mildly sour flavor and a smooth, pourable creaminess; reviews note it’s thinner than yogurt with a slightly effervescent finish. Frequently used in smoothies, breakfast bowls, dressings, or occasionally straight from a glass, customers praise versatility while some mention it can be more tart than expected.
