  • Our guts need microbes to keep us healthy and fermented foods like kefir are full of these.
    Microbes act like mini pharmacies to regulate the chemicals and hormones in our body.
    Kefir is made by fermenting milk with kefir grains, which you can buy from Amazon or other websites selling health foods.
    Kefir is very similar to Greek yogurt and has 10x more live cultures, bacteria and microbes compared to Greek yogurt so is super healthy and helps to feed and diversify your gut microbiome.
    Kefir can be enjoyed as part of a healthy, balanced diet in a smoothie or as a snack with fruits, nuts and seeds.

    Great job!

    Hey thank you!
    I've been using kefir milk to create more batches of kefir by simply adding a cup of kefir milk to regular store bought whole milk and it works!
    Just remove a cup of whole milk from a gallon and add a cup of kefir, let it sit on the counter until it gets thick and has that sour taste. Then toss it in the fridge to slow the fermentation and youre done!
    Def on my list to do it properly with grains!
    Tnx again!

    I have my very first kefir fermenting as we speak…just got my grains…so excited. I have always made yogurt ….do a lot of gardening and want to make some fermented cabbage and other things. The process is fascinating. Wish me luck ☺️

      Brilliant to hear you're getting into fermentation. As we're learning now, everything starts in the gut and fermented foods are the best foods to eat to feed your good microbes. In the coming weeks/months you should notice a difference in your skin, nails, hair and energy levels. Best of luck.

      @MattyBsLifeSkills  7 месяцев назад

      No problem, glad to be of service. Yeah, the only hard part is buying the grains and the equipment like glass jars, funnels and sieves. Don't worry if it's not perfect first time. Took me 3 or 4 goes to get it right.

      Well done Shelley, you will not regret it. It took me 3 or 4 goes to get the right consistency with my kefir so don't worry if it doesn't work first time.

    • @MattyBsLifeSkills

      That's amazing, glad I could help you to start making your own. Trouble with store bought kefir, it may have preservatives, which will reduce the benefits unless it's a pure, organic kefir. I guarantee you'll taste the difference when you make your own. It'll taste really sour so I highly recommend you put a slice of orange in to reduce the sourness. Don't worry if it's not perfect first time. Took me 3 or 4 attempts to get it right.

    • @MattyBsLifeSkills
      @MattyBsLifeSkills  3 месяца назад

      Yeah, it is very sour so I don't have it until I've flavoured it with an orange slice to make it sweeter.

    How fast do the grains grow? Thanks for the great content.

    • @MattyBsLifeSkills
      @MattyBsLifeSkills  4 месяца назад +3

      As long as you keep giving them fresh milk to feed on, your grains will double in size and quantity in around 4-6 months. Only bad thing with this is you'll get less kefir cause there are more grains having all the milk. So might be worth giving some to a friend or family member after the grains have multiplied.

    Never use any metal utensils when making kefir. Always use a plastic strainer and a wood or plastic spoon for stiring.

    • @MattyBsLifeSkills
      @MattyBsLifeSkills  2 месяца назад +1

      Agreed, while experts like Donna Schwenk advise using wooden spoons, using metal spoons just to transport your kefir grains from one jar to another for example won't kill them.

  • @jonathanbevan8613
    @jonathanbevan8613 3 месяца назад

    Matty, So just to be clear, instead of tablespoons, how many grams of Grains to ltr.of milk, also when buying grains, which to buy and which to avoid.

    • @MattyBsLifeSkills
      @MattyBsLifeSkills  3 месяца назад +1

      So, instead of thinking how much kefir grains to how much milk, instead think of how much kefir you want to make and how quickly you want to make it. The quicker you want the milk to ferment, the more grains you have per litre of milk and the warmer you make the environment where the milk is fermenting. So if I have enough kefir for a few days I'll put my milk and grains in the fridge. Hope this helps

    Which fruits could you use other than a slice of orange?

    • @MattyBsLifeSkills
      @MattyBsLifeSkills  7 месяцев назад +2

      You can use pretty much any fruit as they all contain fructose that the kefir will feed off and the natural sugars in the fruits will sweeten it. You could also use vanilla extract.

      They are different grains

    • @MattyBsLifeSkills

      Those are different grains but water kefir is a great alternative to milk kefir if you're lactose intolerant or vegan.

    if you use non dairy milk with milk kefir grains , what do the grains feed on? ( if with regular milk, they feed on lactose)

    • @andreherrmannofficial
      @andreherrmannofficial 4 месяца назад +3

      They die. For non dairy you have to use water kefir crystals i guess.

    Why not just mixing kefir and milk?

    • @MattyBsLifeSkills
      @MattyBsLifeSkills  3 месяца назад +1

      You could do that to keep your kefir from over fermenting but you need kefir grains or a starter culture to make kefir.
