According to another legend, it was the prophet, Mohammed, who introduced kefir grains to the region - which is why they are known as "the grains of the Prophet".
A closely guarded secret revealed!
For centuries, legend says, only a handful of families possessed the “grains of the Prophet” that were essential to the fermentation process, guarded them like gold. Then, in the late 1800s, in a daring coup, a family of Russian cheese-makers obtained a supply of the grains and the rest of the world discovered the sheepherders’ secret.
An age-old process for preserving foods – and health!
Long before refrigeration, humans used fermentation to keep foods from going bad. Fermented foods like wine, cheese, pickles, and sourdough not only kept well, but the same bacteria that caused fermentation in the first place also helped the body to assimilate and use them.
