Kefir Grains not the same as Kombucha

[Guest guest]

Hi Amy and EveryOne,

Kefir grains and Kombucha both contain combinations of yeasts and bacteria. The

difference is in the particular yeasts and bacteria found in each. They may have

some in common but they are also different.

To get the benefits of Kombucha you need Kombucha. To get the benefits of Kefir

you need Kefir.

If you combine the two you may also get benefits or not, but the result is

unknown.

Keep us posted about your experience.

Peace, Love and Harmony,

Bev

DOM's site has info on his experiments combining the two, but I believe

he used BOTH the kefir grain AND the kombucha scoby.

What I have found so far is it tastes exactly like Kombucha, but must

faster.
