Halo Connie,

I've been looking for kefir grain lately and here you are. Please tell me how could I get some grains from you. Btw, I live in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Savina

Oh wow! I never thought I would actually have someone to send grains to!!!

Savina - we live in Sumatra and I'm not too familiar with mail from here but it shouldn't be a problem getting the grains to you. The ones I have are dried and I will send them along with the info to get you started using them.

You can send me a private message with your address and I'll get them sent to you ASAP!

Hi Tiedye.

Kefir seems to keep a VERY VERY long time, but it does change some while it's being stored. IMHO, it just gets better and better. Seems to get more tart every day in my fridge.

However, you can make some really delicious cheese from it, if you line a colander with a couple of layers of cheese cloth, let your gallon sit for a while at room temp until you get some serious separation, and then pour it gently into the lined colander and put a dish over the top (to keep dust, etc, out) and let it sit for several hours. Then gather up the edges of the cheesecloth, tie (or rubber band) them together and hang the whole business up over a pot until it stops dripping, a day or so. Then use it in cooking where you might use cottage cheese or ricotta, or take some and whisk in some flavored syrup to make a nice yogurt substitute, or mix in some herbs and spread it on raw veggies or some kind of lc cracker like Rye Vita or something.

HTH!

I'm sure you'll get other suggestions, as well.

Thank you so much Maggie, the cheese sounds fantastic!! I am also glad to know the kefir keeps well. I have been giving my dog about a tablespoon morning and evening. He loves it so much! I had a bowl on the counter today with just about a cup in it. I heard a crash, and YEP, he had managed to knock it to the floor and was lapping it up fast! Thank you, Joan

i'm so excited to be getting grains from barb! i broke down & bought some kefir from the store yesterday (i know, not the same thing), but i wanted to try it-- i've never had it before.
it's delicious! tastes like watery yogurt. i put a little sf raspberry syrup in it & it was delicious! i can hardly wait to get my grains & get going.

Maggie, I missed the results from your experiments with the Carb Countdown milk. How did it turn out?

I would love to try kefir if anyone has some grains to share with me? :O) I live in Dallas, Texas. You can reach me by email @ carlosboi@sbcglobal.net to work out shipping costs. ;O)





Best Wishes!

Carlos

Hang with us here, Carlos...sorry I don't have kefir grains, but maybe Maggie, Barb or Sharron will be along soon and can help ya out.

Life deserves a treat now and again, but life also deserves being healthy[with required disipline] to make it worth living!

Thanks, Shelly. :O) Crossing fingers! LOL

Cinelu, I missed your post. It's a little late, but my experiments with the carb countdown were no good. I think there's just not enough in that frankenfood for the little buggers to nosh on.


Carlos, if you can't get grains any closer to where you live, just PM me with your name/address and I'll get some out to you.
