Kefir - I LIKE it! And question....

[Bethanial]

I tried some kefir yesterday, and I like it! OK, so what I tried is the stuff you can buy in the store that I've read enough to know isn't REALLY kefir, but still, I liked it Does this mean I stand a good chance at liking the real, honest-to-goodness thing?

My concern was that I don't like yogurt (specifically, the aftertaste), so how could I possibly like kefir? Well, what I drank yesterday did have a sour, very yogurt-y taste, but there was no aftertaste! THAT I can handle!

So, does this mean I very possibly would like the real deal?

I don't like either, so I only have kefir in a shake or in a dip or salad dressing because it is SO good for me. Did you have a flavored kefir? They are usually loaded with sugars, that may be why it was so yummy. Or you may just like kefir over yogurt!

It is so cheap to make, it might be worth it for you to jump onto the kefir bandwagon and give it a try!

There are different stages when making kefir. Depending on how large your grain has grown and how long you leave it the taste will differ.

It's a science experiment. Your just have to find what works for you. I sweeten mine too.

Thanks - I got the plain (not flavored - wanted to know for sure if I liked it or not)

Wont hurt to try to make it yourself.

I'm the one here that LOVES it straight up. YUM! I crave it in the morning.

I don't like it straight up. i usually strain it, then season it, either sweet like a flavoured yogurt, or make a dip out of it with chives, garlic etc. The whey i use for lactofermenting. If I do use it without straining it, I use it in a smoothie. Becasue it is so good for you. It might be different when Iget fresh ra milk, but that will be a while. I can't even breed my cow until next summer.

Wait, you got a cow?? Wow I'm so behind the times! Congrats!

I have hypoglycemia and have avoided sweets my whole life b/c of it. I guess I learned to adjust. Plus I'm lazy and adding anything would mean more work.
