KEFIR GRAINS - LIVE ORGANIC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The seller states in the product description that the quantity of Kefir grains will be enough to make one cup of milk. The amount I received was just over a teaspoon and the seller's directions which came with it said to put it in a quarter of a cup of milk. The grains seemed rather delicate and I've been "babying" them for about a week now and still haven't been able to make a cup of Kefir. Their fragile state was probably in part due to the way they were shipped. They were put without any liquid in a tiny, sealed, thin plastic envelope which was placed in an un-padded, business sized letter envelope. The $5.49 shipping seems rather steep for two stamps and a remarkable lack of special packaging. If I had it to do over again I would probably order from somewhere else. That being said, I have been able to make Kefir--albeit in doll portions---and the flavor is good.

Culture Starter by Body Ecology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A few years ago, I used this culture to make a batch of cultured vegetables; kimchi. It worked exactly like it was supposed to and I didn't have to overload on the salt. Kim simply means "vegetable" in Korean, or so I understand. Besides the usual cabbage, I've seen Korean kimchi made from daikon and cucumber.
For cultured vegetables, it's best to use vegetables with a fairly low water content, since a high water vegetable, like celery, will disintegrate in mater of three or so days. I've made cultured vegetable mixes with carrots, daikon, beets and crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat. Since I'd chopped the veggies into small enough pieces, my former half-Korean neigbor said he would use it as salsa and that it had a nice heat. I hadn't thought of it, but that's a good use for cultured vegetables.
