Guest guest Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 The Powder is not that great, and it will never grow into anything. You can find Freeze-Dried (item #9951) www.urbanhomemaker.com that, with care may grow up big and strong. That would be my choice if Fresh was not available. --Terry Re: kefir beginners...

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 I started trying kefir with powder, was not impressed and found some grains through the Real Kefir group. Powder is not a mother culture. Only the real " grains " (they're really more like a curd) are live mother cultures. A mother culture can last literally forever and will continue to grow and multiply. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Hey , Dom is THE person to ask when there is something about kefir he also owns the kefir_making group. But he's been busy with other things than online groups, lately, something strange called " life " I haven't ever tried any kefir powder, personally. It will never grow grains, as it has nothing to do with the grains and just copy part of them. The powder will not make kefir anymore after some batches, while the grains will keep their environment unfriendly for bad bacteria. You can usually get grains from other people for just the cost of packing and postage.
