What is Indian Sea Rice
Many people know the classic milk kefir, but do you know the water kefir made with marine rice of India?
Both products, milk kefir and water kefir, are similar: they are groups of bacteria and living yeasts that live in a symbiotic relationship within the polysaccharide biume produced by bacteria. As in the case of kefir grains, the microbes present in Indian seafront rice act in symbiosis to maintain a stable crop. At first glance, the product is an undetermined gelatinous mass in the form of translucent lumps.
It is used in many sugary drinks, where bacteria feed on sugar to produce lactic acid, alcohol (ethanol) and carbonic gas, which makes the drink slightly foamy.
India’s sea rice has been known for a long time. It has been used for a long time to treat the whole body. Despite its name, it is not classified as cereal.
In general, the product receives different names in different countries:
- in Germany, Piltz;
- in Italy, Kéfir di Frutta;
- in France, Greins Vivantes;
- In Mexico, tibic (used to prepare a fermented drink called Tepache, to which pineapple, brown sugar and cinnamon is added).
Asians also call this product, or more exactly, tibic fungus. Of course, it is not a typical mushroom. It is believed to come from Tibet. The majority of Europeans call it Seta Kéfir and attribute their origin to the mountains of the Caucasus, between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea.
Other sources cite Mexico as a country of origin. In any case, both kefir and Indian portion are probiotic drinks, which contain a complex structure of good bacteria, yeast, proteins, lipids and sugars. Probiotics are healthy bacteria that feed on the “bad” unhealthy stomach bacteria and intestines.
By the origin and name, it can be seen that the kefir and the Tibikos are similar, or at least belong to the same “family.”Indian rice looks like a slightly translucent jelly.
It can be purchased in 2 variants: in the form of a fungus, whose metabolism is active and needs to be cultivated and fed, or in the form of powder crop, which is simply added to the water without further ado. If the crop dies, it is enough to add a little of the drink already prepared to the water with sugar. It also contains the previously added microorganisms, which continue to grow in the new drink.
If you want to keep the drink in the bottle, remember that present bacteria remain active and continue to release carbon dioxide. Therefore, you must slightly loosen the bottle cap and keep it in an upright position so that the content is not spilled. It is a phenomenon known to many when sem i-meter wine is stored. It is also active, and the increase in carbon dioxide content is the cause of bottles to explode.

For diabetics and people with fungal infections, it is advisable to prepare the drink with a longer fermentation time to minimize the risk of health damage.

If the drink is not beneficial, it is likely that the person will not tolerate all the states that it contains or has not followed the preparation standards. Some people do not tolerate fermented foods, so it is advisable to start taking them with caution, tablespoon in spoonful.

Specific use of marine rice
Rinse the fungus with cold boiled water at least once a week. Rinse it between the fingers to get rid of the drool that is naturally formed in it, reducing its effectiveness.
It is advisable to leave rice at rest from time to time, especially when it becomes lazy. Let it stand for a day in water (preferably boiled), and then continue preparing the drink. The first 2-3 lots is better to pour them.
Some important rules
- No metal: use only plastic or glass containers.
- Never expose Indian marine rice to the sun.
- Never expose the product to a heat source: do not put it on a heater or a cooking plate to accelerate the process.
Culinary applications
To cook you will need
- 1 liter of water;
- 4 tablespoons of tibics;
- 10-15 units. of sultane raisins (or other nuts);
- 3-4 tablespoons of sugar.
Pour in the boiling and cooled water, in which sugar, tibic and raisans are dissolved. Cover with gauze and let stand at room temperature for 2 days.
Side Indian marine rice can be reused, but before it must be rinsed in a gauze under the tap.
If for some reason you cannot consume sugar, replace ¾ of it with a greater amount of sultanas raisins (up to 30 pieces). Diabetics can completely remove sugar by replacing it with 50 pieces of sultanas raisins.
Creativity has no limits when making a healing drink. In the second half of fermentation (second day) any fruit, grass or spice can be used. The raspberry and ortiga syrups are the best known. When using syrup you have to keep in mind that the resulting drink will be sweeter. You can try to add syrup during the 1st fermentation instead of sugar, or reduce the amount of sugar replacing it with syrup.
For the 2nd fermentation you can also add ginger, cinnamon or nail, fresh mint leaves, molasses.
If you want to add fresh fruit during the 1st fermentation, it is a good idea to introduce it in a singl e-use paper bag. But when using paper bags (the most used for tea), keep in mind that they are bleached and glued. This can affect the final taste of the drink and the useful life of rice.
From time to time, “mime” the product with a mineral bath. Add approximately 1 tablespoon of the Himalayan salt to the sugar solution and let ferment for 3 days. Then, pour salt infusion or use it as a basis for a salty salad dressing.
