MARILYN'S ON THE CULTURES GETTING ZAPPED

[Guest guest]

Yes, at the expense of the health of your kefir grains.

Marilyn "

Can you say some more, about how the cultures allegedly

get damaged by a 2 day ferment?

All the Israelis I am teaching kefirising to, use a 2 day ferment - it only

goes down to one day fermenting in hot weather, when the whole process is sped

up by the heat. It is known to be bad for the cultures, to use a metal spoon or

metal implements on the cultures: the metal ions damage the cultures. Non

organic milk means they grow less in the storage house - but I've never heard of

their culturing milk causing damage to their structure.

Hi Lizzie,

Where are you teaching Israeli's - I'm in Israel and cant find anyone who

knows anything about kefir at all. No one at any of the health food shops

knows what I'm talking about. Are you teaching sraeli's who live in the

Byron shire? (my old stomping ground).

You didn't read what I said. Where in the sentence below did I say the words

" damage to their structure " ? Please don't misquote my plain words.
