Emily — You can just toss them in a smoothie or salad dressing or anything else you’re blending and puree them up.

Anyone have any recipes for getting rid of my extra kefir grains? I know it would be better to eat them than throw them out and don’t have the fridge space (or money) to keep them all going. Growing so fast! Any ideas would be great i can’t find any recipes but ones using kefir liquid. Thanks

Give the straight stuff a chance. It grows on you. It’s important to let it ferment without the grains for an additional day or two. That changes the taste a fair bit and the texture. It becomes much thinner, less fatty, more nutritious, and sparkily. Very similar to sparkiling lemonade, but much more satisfyling. The other thought is to just dump some over fresh fruit. Mango, or berries go great with kefir.

I have found that Kefir really helps with Calcium absorption. Sometimes I just stir some molasses and drink it (molasses also a good source of Ca). Before I go to bed I drink a cup of kefir — straight up.
My older but still very active mother also enjoys Kefir very much (great drink for a senior citizen) she says she has more energy, or maybe she just feels more alive! When I first set her up with the Kefir in a mason jar — she told me she needed more curd grains because she had very little curds left…..
I said, “Mom you ate all the curds — were suppose to save the keifr grains curds as a starter….”
LOL….It is okay to eat the grains but – it is important to reserve some to continue the keifr cycle.

I had to get more Kefir grains for her and give her step by step instructions:

1) Add the kefir grains/curds to the jar
2) Add milk to jar,about 1-1/4 to 2 cups.
3) Cover with loose lid or papertowel secured with rubber band
4) Let sit 24 (longer if needed or desired is OK)
5) When kefir milk is ready,stir & then pour milk & grains slowly into a strainer or colander over a bowl, gently separate the grains from the kefir milk — do not smash grains.

6) TO START OVER: Go back to step (1)

Sam – Yes, you can eat them! Most people don’t like them because of the texture, but I quite like them. Like a sour gummy bear. They’re really good for you — all the organisms of the kefir in a high concentration.

Thanks — glad you liked it! Nope, no sweetener necessary, though I might try adding some next time just to see how much of a difference it makes.
