Guest guest Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 What is the best way to store Kefir grains for some days I want to give some to a friend and they are growing I dont want to eat all of them either. Do they freeze? Allie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 For mailing - simply put a tablespoon of grains inside a zip seal sandwich bag with a teaspoon or so of your usual milk. Seal it and then put this in another sealed zip bag for leak proofing. Put this into a plastic DVD for protection and then into a strong envelope for mailing. They will be ok for any reasonable delivery time so long as it is not midsummer when high temperatures might kill the grains if a mailbox is in direct sun.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 No, I just take them out and put them in a plastic bag. I have seal-a-meal so use that, but I’ve heard you don’t have to vacuum seal it. I don’t even wash them. I do, however, put the sealed bag into another bag just to help reduce the chance of freezer burn.
