The Benefits of Cultured Dairy for Better Health:
Research continues to show the importance of eating healthy foods, including cultured dairy such as kefir, for better gut health, a strong immune system, and to support the microbiome. Fermented foods like kefir hold important value in this line of research due to the link between the gut-brain axis and overall health.
Specifically, kefir has been shown to help diversify the microbiome, support the digestive system, reduce inflammation, support healthier blood sugar levels, and improve satiety since the bioavailable protein it contains triggers the release of GLP-1. Lifeway Kefir also contains a variety of nutrients that are vital for healthy bones and overall health including vitamins D3, K, and B12 along with calcium and potassium. Along with our kefir, we also offer our creamy Lifeway Farmer Cheese, a high protein cheese made with live and active cultures to support a healthy microbiome that’s easy to spread and contains no added salt or sugar.
Prep Time: 20 mins Servings: 6 - 8Ingredients
Garlic Herb Kefir Butter:
- 1 (6 oz.) container of Salted Kefir Butter
- 1/4 cup soft, fresh leafy herbs (we used oregano, basil, thyme, and parsley)
- 1 tsp. soy or Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- dash of sea salt
- 1/4 tsp. onion powder
- dash of black pepper
- 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
Accompaniments:
- Grapes
- Berries
- Select Charcuterie Meats
- Walnuts and/or Almonds
- Pita Chips or Crackers of choice
- Bell Pepper Strips
- Celery Sticks
- Any other additions you wish
Directions
- Add the Lifeway Salted Kefir Butter, herbs, soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce, finely minced garlic, onion powder, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to a large bowl, and mix with a spatula to combine well. It helps to let the kefir butter soften on the counter 10-15 minutes before doing this. Alternatively, you can whip the kefir butter, garlic, soy or Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice in a food processor first, then stir in the herbs, onion powder, and salt and pepper to combine well.
- Once the Garlic Herb Kefir Butter is mixed well, spread it into a serving dish and center it in the middle of a charcuterie board, then plate the accompaniments around the Garlic Herb Kefir Butter. Serve right away and enjoy!
