Home made Kefir: The easiest way to have fresh kefir available any time is to make it yourself! Today, traditional authentic kefir (real kefir) is easily prepared at home. Along the benefits of homemade kefir: you can choose the milk you use - organic, whole, raw non pasteurized or pasteurized, full-cream, nonfat, low fat, goat's or cow's milk, coconut milk or soymilk; Whole milk gives it a richer, sweeter flavor, and texture rather than skim milk. It's very rich in microorganisms, and of course it can't get any fresher. Fresh milk is poured into a clean suitable container with the addition of kefir grains. The culture-process for preparing kefir is very simple, not expensive and flexible. You can try different milks and different procedures to find what will satisfy your tastes better. What's Kefir? Kefir should not be mistaken for Yogurt. Kefir is a cultured, enzyme-rich food filled with friendly micro-organisms that help balance your "inner ecosystem." More nutritious and therapeutic than yogurt, it supplies complete protein, essential minerals, and valuable B vitamins. Kefir is simple and inexpensive to make at home. Kefir is used to restore the inner eco-system after antibiotic therapy. Kefir can be made into a delicious smoothie that kids love. Kefir is excellent nourishment for pregnant and nursing women, the elderly, and those with compromised immunity. Kefir is a very popular everyday food in Europe now. Doctors recommend kefir as a first food for infants and as the last food for older people, and as a great healthy snack for everybody and everyday. What are Kefir grains? Small particle of culture which looks and feels like cauliflower or cooked rice. These grains are all you need to start making one of the healthiest and tastiest foods available. Kefir is a culture-milk beverage, creamy consistency, similar to buttermilk in consistency ; it is not a thick, spoonable curd such as yogurt: ALTERNATE NAMES OF KEFIR GRAINS: TIBET MUSHROOM, BULGAROS, KEFIRAN, YOGURT PLANT, YOGURT MUSHROOM AND MORE... More than just Beneficial Bacteria! In addition to beneficial bacteria and yeast, kefir contains minerals and essential amino acids that help the body with healing and maintenance functions. The complete proteins in kefir are partially digested and therefore more easily utilized by the body. Tryptophan, one of the essential amino acids abundant in kefir, is well known for its relaxing effect on the nervous system. Because kefir also offers an abundance of calcium and magnesium, which are also important minerals for a healthy nervous system, kefir in the diet can have a particularly profound calming effect on the nerves. Kefir's ample supply of phosphorus, the second most abundant mineral in our bodies, helps utilize carbohydrates, fats, and proteins for cell growth, maintenance and energy. Kefir is rich in Vitamin B12, B1, and Vitamin K. It is an excellent source of biotin, a B Vitamin which aids the body's assimilation of other B Vitamins, such as folic acid, pantothenic acid, and B12. The numerous benefits of maintaining adequate B vitamin intake range from regulation of the kidneys, liver and nervous system to helping relieve skin disorders, boost energy and promote longevity. Easily digested, it cleanses the intestines, provides beneficial bacteria and yeast, vitamins and minerals, and complete proteins. Because kefir is such a balanced and nourishing food, it contributes to a healthy immune system and has been used to help patients suffering from AIDS, chronic fatigue syndrome, herpes, and cancer. Its tranquilizing effect on the nervous system has benefited many who suffer from sleep disorders, depression, and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). The regular use of kefir can help relieve all intestinal disorders, promote bowel movement, reduce flatulence and create a healthier digestive system. In addition, its cleansing effect on the whole body helps to establish a balanced inner ecosystem for optimum health and longevity. Kefir can also help eliminate unhealthy food cravings by making the body more nourished and balanced. Its excellent nutritional content offers healing and health-maintenance benefits to people in every type of condition. How to make Kefir? Kefir is very easy to make. All you really need is a glass jar and a plastic strainer or our pouch made out of nylon mesh. It is cultured at room temperature, I will provide you with detailed instructions how to make your own kefir for life. You just have to add grains to the glass jar of milk and let it stand in room temperature for 18-24 hours. By the time you're making your kefir drink, the culture will grow. Time and Temperature: Time and temperature are two important factors that determine how thick and tasty your kefir will be. In the warmer months kefir may be ready to drink in 18 hours, in room temperature for 18-24 hours. If you let it sit out too long at room temperature, it will become thick and eventually start turning into cheese and whey. If your kefir is "lumpy" and too sour, you are definitely leaving it out too long. It should be creamy and "drinkable"…a little thicker than milk. At this point, shake it well and place the kefir into your refrigerator. It will thicken a little more since it is continuing to culture, but at a much slower pace. All grains are maintained daily in fresh whole milk. This Kefir Grains will start your culturing process and will allow you to begin drinking a moderate cup of Kefir within 24 hours after your initial preparation, only 24 hours and enjoy your first drink. Also as you may know, these grains will reproduce themselves. You will need to rinse the grains with cold water between each milk change. Rinse the grains with cold water before placing the culture in fresh milk. Kefir multiply very rapidly, doubling in size about every 14-20 days thus providing you with a lifetime supply. In no time at all you too will be sharing them with others. Recipes: Strawberry Kefir Banana Cream Pie: Ingredients: 2 pts. Fresh strawberries 1 c. sugar 2 c.

Original Green Bean Casserole: Ingredients: 2 (10-ounce) packages frozen French-style green beans 1 small onion, sliced 1 tablespoon chopped parsley 3 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/2 cup skim milk 1 cup Kefir 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese 1/4 cup fine dry breadcrumbs Preparation: Cook green beans according to package directions than drain. Use two tablespoons of butter to cook onion and parsley until the onion is tender. Mix in flour, salt and pepper. Add milk; cook and stir until thickened. Stir in kefir and cooked beans; heat just until mixture begins to bubble. Spoon into 5-quart casserole; sprinkle cheese over top. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter; toss with breadcrumbs and sprinkle over beans. Broil a few inches away from heat until cheese melts and crumbs brown, one to two minutes. Corn bread: Ingredients 2 cups maize meal 1/2 cup wheat germ 1 tea spoon salt 1/2 tea spoon bicarbonate of soda 1 tea spoon baking powder 1 table spoon brown sugar 1 large beaten egg, see text 1 table spoon oil 2 cups kefir Oven at 220ºC, 425º F, gas mark 7. In a large bowl mix together all the dry ingredients. You can do this in advance to save time. Combine the wet ingredients in a separate bowl and add to the dry ones; if you like, it can even take a bit more beaten egg or oil thus making it more nutritious. In any case it will be fairly runny. Turn into an oiled oven to table shallow dish and put it on the top shelf of the preheated oven. It will take about 20 minutes and will look nicely puffed and golden. If you test it with skewer it will come dry when ready. Serve while hot and traditionally is cut into squares. Kefir & Beauty: It's quite interesting to look back in history and to read that the beautiful queen of Egypt bathed in fermented milk and that her skin was so beautiful that we still talk about it. We learn from history for the present and the future. If rich people can afford something that others cannot then it's not much help for someone who has only a little pocket money. With fermented milk every one can afford a beauty treatment for the skin which is much, much cheaper than a commercial skin product, where advertising and packaging is the highest part of the price you pay. The product itself costs, in most cases, only a very small percentage of the retail price. Kefir puts the best skin care in everyone's hands.
