Oops. …than pasteurized milk. It thrives in raw milk. It should last forever if you take care Of it. Don’t use metal in the kifer and put it in room temp milk

I was given a blob of kefir grains about three months ago. They continue to make great kefir but my question is this….how long do they last? Also will the mass of starter grow larger over time so I can share them?

I too have experienced the wonderful benefits of kefir.

I got mine from this blog http://www.yourkefirsource.com and they’ve been really helpful.

I have been drinking for over 6 months. Grains have performed well and im making new recipes as we speak!

yes, Kefir is similar to Swedish ”fil”. I really missed it when I moved to the states but I found that plain Kefir comes pretty close. Great little article, I saw cultured buttermilk at the store and was wondering if it was the same thing. Looks like it kindof is

Hello,

I just started making kefir made from kefir grains I bought from someone online. She charges a small fee, but she is very good at what she does and guarantees the grains as well as all the help and information you could want. http://www.kefirlady.com

The website alone is a gem, but so far, the grains have been outdoing themselves, I’m considering my options as to how to share them! Good luck in your endeavors!

Is there a difference between kefir made from grains and kefir made from a starter powder?

I just want to give an addition to your post.

Kefir is pronounced (kef e-er). It is a refreshing cultured-milk beverage that is loaded with nutritional benefits. It is made by culturing fresh milk with kefir grains. Kefir grains are not to be mistaken for cereal grains; they are a soft, gelatinous white biological mass of proteins, lipids (fats), and a soluble-polysaccharide kefiran complex. They are famous for there vast mixture of specific friendly (LAB) Lactic-acid Bacteria and yeasts.

This is the most potent source of probiotics (friendly bacteria) you can find. In most probiotic pills found in stores you will find about 15 different strains of friendly bacteria, for example (Lactobacillus bugaricus and Streptoccocus thermophilus) are just 2 of the more well known strains. To learn more about the different strains click here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probiotics
but once again Mother Nature has out done the laboratories, a natural kefir grain contains 42 different strains of friendly bacteria. There is no comparison here. Kefir grains are far superior to the probiotics you will find in a bottle.
