Sunday March 18, 2018 Well my post today has little to do with alpacas, but a lot to do with good health. If you’ve ever been in our kitchen, you’ve probably seen what looks like a jar of milk sitting on the counter. It’s my kefir! I am a big fan of kefir and I grow a new batch every single day! I drink it, and even Ed is finally drinking it. (nothing like an infection to convince someone to try it, lol) If you have taken antibiotics, kefir or other probiotics are even more critical. All 6 of our dogs get it every day, the barn cats get some, and I have even fed it to an alpaca once or twice. (I’m convinced it helped our Bodhi dog recover from cancer) Click the link to find out exactly What is kefir? I like to think of good vs evil going on inside a body. The bad guys, germs, viruses etc. get in because such is life, and the good guys (from probiotics like kefir) need to outnumber the bad guys to win. I ordered my kefir grains many years ago from Cultured Food life. and I’ve kept them growing and multiplying happily ever since. I’ve shared my kefir with many many people – these kefir grain are even growing in Southeast Asia! But they do need attention. I think of my kefir grains as another animal I need to feed each day. There is a way to rest them for a few days, but honestly, they do best when fed daily. So do some research, and if you want to try some kefir grains, I often have some to share to share. Here is what I ask: that you commit to feed them daily and that you freely give away your excess. Because they will multiply! One more thing – picking up kefir grains does not include a ranch tour. heehee I have plenty of kefir but not plenty of free time. 🙂 Happy Sunday!
Photos of the day: Ready to help win the battle of good vs evil! A jar of kefir!
It is slightly effervescent.
