Gie's Lab: My encounter with SCOBY

in health •  7 years ago  (edited)

What is SCOBY? Sound like scooby doo right? haha..but no, not referring to scooby doo. SCOBY here stands for "Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast". A type of bacteria and yeast used in the fermentation of probiotic drinks.

It does look pretty scary and here is how SCOBY look like. The thing looking like half burger meat is the original SCOBY also called the mother while the bubble on top is the daughter (i.e second layer of SCOBY) forming a day or two after fermentation.
