Wanting info/encouragement to start using Kefir

[Mum2MarNell]

Ok I have always looked at Kefir online and thought I would like to try it. Today I was in our local Green Store and they had some for sale so I bought some.
Since getting home and doing some research I suspect that what I have is not a 'true' Kefir.
I will still use it, but am keen to source the genuine thing...

I would be grateful to hear others experiences with kefir and also what they have used it for.

Thanks
Jane

Just trying to get a website addy for you - I got my kefir grains from her and they're great - she's got all sorts of info etc but just setting up her site - will update here as soon as I have the info!

Fermented gear is sooooooo good for humans. We used to eat lots of it till refrigeration came along and while I wouldn't swap my fridge for anything, it is helpful to remember we benefit so greatly from kefir, kimchi, yoghurt, pre and probiotics. Makes me feel healthier just writing them down. :lol

I'm only just starting my research on kefir and other products and would like to give some things a try too. We live in a small town, so no health food shop and difficulty sourcing anything locally. Could anybody recommend any other online stores that sell quality products?


Makes me feel healthier just writing them down. :lol

It makes me feel healthier just reading them!

Looking forward to trying these. I haven't made my 'fake' one up yet as we are going away over the weekend and I would probably kill it LOL.

M2B gave me some kefir grains.. I've thrown them in the freezer until I have a kitchen in which to do something with them! Taking note of all suggestions..
