Ooh, that's a nice offer, Lisa. I've only had the milk-based kefir - but I'm not drinking much dairy lately. Have you ever added it soy, oat, rice, or hemp milk? What are the best uses for kefir grains?

These are for culturing milk. Kefir grains are a super simple way to make a kind of yogurt. It's a bit more liquidy and tart than conventional yogurt, but it's chock full of probiotic goodness and great in smoothies and on Indian food.

Hi Josephine. I'm going out of town today until Tuesday, but I could pass some on to you next week. I got the first batch from ebay and then they just grew.

Hi Lisa,
I am a new member and am looking for some kefir grains. If you or anyone has some available for sharing, I would really appreciate it. I can be in Inman Square on most weekdays in the morning. Just let me know.
Thanks,

Hi
Was wondering how I can get some KEFIR grains. I have never tried it but was told by a friend that it works for leaky gut. I am trying to find our more about the whole process online. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks

I would love some free kefir grains, Lisa. I just learned how to sprout grains and my next challenge is to begin fermenting kefir. Thank you. Marilyn
