Kefir anyone?
Re: Kefir anyone?
Don't mean to horn in here, but after reading some of the comments here about the flavor of kefir I wanted to toss in my two cents flavoring!
I used to do the kefir grains thing with my Mother in law when I lived in California and we used syrup (the kind used for Italian sodas) to sweeten them. My favorite was raspberry. Seeing as kefir already has a natural pop n' fizz to it, it almost makes it feel like you're sipping a thick milkshakey kind of soda!
Just an idea for those wanting to try this, but leery due to the taste.

Re: Kefir anyone?
Hi Andre, if you have not found any grains, then I could share some with you. I don't have a lot but enough to divide.

Hi everyone,
I just moved to Helsinki a few months ago and I am also looking for kefir grains. If anyone has any to spare, I would really appreciate it! (Even just a few - I am patient enough to let them multiply!) Also, I am happy to meet anywhere....
Thanks!

Hi Katri,
I have a few and have just offered half to someone else. Maybe we can divide them 3 ways. I live in Helsinki.

Re: Kefir anyone?
Hey Folks,
Just heard about these little grains last night at a Slow Food meeting, are there enough to share 4 ways Cynde? Completely understandable if not and I'm asking too late, it sounds like these are hard to come by so no worries if I need to be a little patient! I live in Helsinki also, thanks.
Cheers,
Steve

Re: Kefir anyone?
I live in Espoo and I have been searching for kefir grains for few years now, does anyone know where I can obtain some here or even Estonia. Any tips would be appreciated.
Re: Kefir anyone?
I do know someone in Estonia. I just wrote to him to ask if he still has some to share.
Here's a list btw http://www.torontoadvisors.com/supplier ... ds=finland ask to be added when you have some to share.

Re: Kefir anyone?
Cynde, thank you, but I was thinking of water kefir grains. Because I try to avoid milk products. Thank you for your quick reply! But if I don't fined any water kefir grains for sure I will contact you. Regards
Re: Kefir anyone?
Hi everyone! I am looking into making kefir. I have never done this before but have been reading a lot about it online. Does anyone have some kefir grains I can buy from them or know somewhere in Helsinki I can get them?
any other useful tidbits and suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks

Re: Kefir anyone?
Do you all think Russian and Estonian kefir have the same taste? Obviously it's very different from piimä (and much nicer, in my opinion): tangier and less sweet.
