Guest guest Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Tricia, Ah, you seek the ancient mystical knowledge of kefir. Don't we all. We all talk about it, yes. And that special mystical music that causes the kefir grains to do their sacred mysterious dance that turns humble milk into glorious supreme kefir, that no woman or man has yet to fathom. Please, if by perchance you happen upon the secret ways and find success, please, do share. We will all be most grateful. Tonio Okay I know this will start an avalanche.....What is Kefir?

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 No problem Tricia. Go to this site to learn all about kefir: http://users.chariot.net.au/~dna/kefirpage.html Basically, it is a wonderful probiotic beverage, stronger than yogurt in it's beneficial qualities, that you make from spongy bacterial cultures called " grains. " Discovered among the Muslim tribespeople of the Northern Caucasus Mountains in Russia over a century ago and really has unknown origins. Many legends surround it. Very interesting reading at Dominic's site. Yes, you put the grains in milk, and 24 to 48 hours, you strain out the grains and you drink the resulting beverage. You put the grains back in milk and repeat the process. Very easy. You might compare it to plain yogurt or buttermilk in taste. Some like it sweetened, some like it tart. > Okay I know this will start an avalanche.....What is Kefir?
