An Update on Water Kefir: Microbiology, Composition and Production [PDF]
Water kefir is a sparkling, slightly acidic fermented beverage produced by fermenting a solution of sucrose, to which dried fruits have been added, with water kefir grains. These gelatinous grains are a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast embedded in a polysaccharide matrix.

Abstract Background Milk kefir (MK) and water kefir (WK) are traditionally produced from different unique probiotic-containing semi-soft particles known as milk kefir grains and water kefir grains. There is significant confusion between these kefir grains, even in peer-reviewed scientific publications. Even though both grains have some similarities,

An Alternative Source of Probiotics: Water Kefir [PDF]
The aim of this review was to compile the origin and distribution of water kefir, its production, microbial diversity, fermentation dynamics, health effects, and its place in national/international food legislation. Water kefir is a traditional, slightly carbonated fermented beverage with a lactic acid content of up to 2%.

The Metagenomic Composition of Water Kefir Microbiota
Water kefir is a sourish, slightly alcoholic, and carbonated drink in which different dried fruits are added to the sucrose-containing solution and fermented using water kefir grains. Kefir grains in polysaccharide structure include Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB), yeasts, and/or acetic acid bacteria that use sucrose as an energy source.
