HOMEMADE KEFIR vs. STORE BOUGHT KEFIR • Are you being misled?

I have recently received some kefir grains and have specifically used your channel as my educator. I researched the grains use for a month before deciding to order grains. Your information is solid, research supported and delivered clearly. Thank you for this great channel. I actually take notes like I did in school!

I used to make kefir and kefir cheese. My life has changed so much since then. I live on the East Coast now and I'm not sure yet where I can find more kefir grains.

[@nicosgeo]

The most important issue about commercial made kefirs is that they pasteurize after fermentation in order to give it a long shelf life. When I finish straining my kefir I wash the grains in water in order to get that creamy kefiran. Kefir is like a pet. If you take care of it it will never dye. I have it for more than 20 years.

In another video it is recommended no to wash the kefir grains because the Kefiran goes wasted so just place the kefir grains directly into the new milk.

Nice vid! ❤... I've been wondering what would happen if you mixed multiple kefir grains together?? 🤔 Where can we find that document with the kefir grains and stuff you were referencing?

[@LisaRedfern]

A lactobacillus question. I've been doing Bokashi 'composting' (fermentation) aka Korean Natural Farming where you take rice and swirl it around in water until it's cloudy. Strain out the rice, then let the liquid sit on your counter until the smell changes from rice-like to sweet. From there you add it to whole milk and let that sit until curds and whey form. To the whey (separated from the curds) you add molasses, then keep this mixture in your refrigerator. (Commercially, this is called EM1 - effective microorganisms.) You use this liquid to spray on collected kitchen scraps to prevent them from stinking. This eventually goes into 5-gallon buckets for several months and is then buried in the ground. Do you know (or can you send a pointer to where to search for) if Kefir whey contains the same strain of lactobacillus as the EM1? [The amount of rice to make a batch of EM1 is small, but when I make it, I usually toss the wet rice in my kitchen compost bin. Since I anticipate making ongoing batches of milk kefir, I'm wondering if the kefir whey will do the same work?] Thank you for the great videos. I'll be sending you a few coffees. THANKS! ;-)

[@danielschurmann7558]

At least in Germany, the store bought kefir also contain yeast and have low amounts of alcohol and CO2. The only reason they use powder instead of grains is quality control. If you check the ingredients it just says "Kefir" without anything added (not counting kefir-like drinks, but these aren't allowed to be labelled Kefir anyways). It is literally the definition of kefir to also contain yeast (as opposed to Yogurt and such).

[@CleanFoodLiving]

Sauerkraut indeed is one of the BEST probiotic sources. However, each type of fermented food has different types of probiotics. They aren't all the same like the store bought bottles are made up of (more or less). For instance, as explained in the video, kefir contains strains not found anywhere else. Did you see that huge list? Sauerkraut, fermented onions, fermented garlic & carrots, have their own profile. The more probiotic diversity you have in your gut and body, the better.
