How much sugar does finished kefir contain?
A. While certainly variation will exist between batches, generally speaking approximately 20% of the sugar you start with will remain following a 48 hour culturing process and almost all that sugar will have been converted to fructose from it’s original glucose-fructose state. Therefore if you use our recommend ratio of 1/4 cup sugar to 1 quart water, the finished kefir will contain approximately 1.4% fructose.
