Guest guest Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 Heidi, Thank you very much for your offer. I'm thinking I will like it more, as I don't like the sour taste of kefir or yogurt. Please email me for further info.

We make smoothies with kefir and a fruit, usually a banana. My husband however, eats it in a big bowl combined with commercial yogurt and sherbert (not very NT). My kefir, as has been brought up before, is kefiili: a thick, gooey, not-sour stuff that doesn't pour, because it has some viili bacteria in it (which has a different strain of Leuoconostoc Cremoris in it). This makes it not very sour -- the lactose turns into polysaccharides instead of lactic acid, so it is really mild. Running it through the blender thins it right up: otherwise it has the consistency of kid's Gak (that slime stuff they play with). I'm happy to share grains with anyone who wants it, but it's one of those things you either love or hate! (we love it: we didn't like " straight " kefir much). -- Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
