MAINER'S ON HEAT DESTROYING BUGS

[Guest guest]

Does cooking with kefir destroy the beneficial organisms? "

This is a question which has been much debated. I use

left over Kefir culture storage milk, in bread making - about half a cup to a 2

pound loaf - I keep the kefirised milk in the fridge door and chuck it into the

bread mix like a sourdough culture.

We find we can always tell when the Kefir is in the bread and I think it

does add to fermentative effect in the gut, which is thought to be anti bowel

cancer. Some can't handle it, cos it stirs their gut up too much. So I am

inclined to think that the organisms do survive the breadmaking machine and

probably ovens also...some of them, at least.
