    Great video. I am a newbie to Kefir and want to make it. I want to do the milk version and am curious if there is a difference to using a starter kit vs acquiring existing grains? Thanks for any insight 🙂

    • @GutHealthGurus
      @GutHealthGurus  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Grains are far superior and can be reused forever....starter cultures are only a few species (mainly yoghurt cultures) and have limited use before you have to buy more

    • @TampaDave
      @TampaDave ปีที่แล้ว

      Correct, it is difficult to get more than a few generations of kefir from a starter batch, and kefir grains are eternal, if given proper respect.
      On the other hand, store brands of kefir and kefir made from the starter kits, contain more cultures than most probiotic foods. Don't ever buy flavored kefir (or yogurt) because they have to use wounded sugars to keep our tiny friends from eating it. But even store-bought kefir, with it's 12-14 species is a great health benefit, if you drink it plain, or put your own flavor/fruit in it. I love letting it ferment some of the sugar, then drinking it when it is tart blueberry or peach, or whatever.

    I live in South Africa and I bought my Kefir Starter Kit from a major Pharmaceutical Chain. I paid 250 South African Rand for a jar, a kucky little plastic spoon and a too-small plastic strainer. And about half a teaspoon of little grains that looked like yellow sugar. I've got it nicely up and running now.

      Which chain?

    • @TampaDave
      @TampaDave ปีที่แล้ว

      Most of the starter kits only have 14 or so species. Kefir grains often have 4x more, and probably all grains have 2x more Every specie adds a possible benefit.

    so 2 things I may have missed. Does the Kefir lower the glucose index that the milk would have? And What effect does the Kefir have on the carbohydrates in the milk? Thanks

    • @GutHealthGurus
      @GutHealthGurus  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The glycemic index of milk is already quite low and the depletion of lactose (milk sugar/ carbohydrate) through the fermentation process would lower even further.

    • @TampaDave
      @TampaDave ปีที่แล้ว

      Larry, my personal opinion is that kefir grains perform a number of miracles and turn something I do not believe is a suitable food, into a super-food. They break down the toxins (pesticides, herbicides, etc.) eat the growth hormones, help the mineral balance, soften many of the fats, eat the lion's share of the carbs, and add a large number of powerful nutrients (including powerful kefiran) to the final product.

      .. take all opinions with a grain of salt ... but it could help to do a good "detox " ahead of time ... or now -- now will clear out good stuff also .. but it is a cycle to clear the bad & replace with good ... make sure you're hydrated in order to flush out die-off .. otherwise it could get reabsorbed ( flu symptoms / HERX ) .. consider a coffee enema ... make sure to replace the good bugs ... and electrolyes ( not sugary gatorade ... maybe himalayan solution , ) .. use good non homogenized 1/2 & 1/2 ... if you can find it ( to make your Kefir ) ... it is not a "goal" you reach ... it is a cycle you create .. like cleaning your floor ... you don't clean well and then forget it for 3 months ..would make for a very sticky ,nasty , smelly floor ...
      ... if you have a parasite .. and you do not clear it / them first .. you could end up feeding them instead of clearing them .. that is why " 7th day fast" ( Sabbath ) with bitter herbs is an excellent / necessary part of the cycle .. note ( let some of it go ( kefir ) a long time and ... you have cheese ... .. and to the speaker ... if you let kefir go longer .. casein is all broken down into amino acids ... I believe " intolerance" is from lack of indigenous bacteria / yeasts that consume lactose .. it is not a disease .. but a condition .. which you can change ( & cut back / eliminate sugar & breads . and all vegetable oils .. )

      I was excited to add Stamets-7 to my second ferment, based on the cooperative relationship between mycelium and probiotics. It gave the final brew a subtle flavor-color, too.
      One day, I accidentally mixed the powered mycelium mix in with the grains and fresh milk. I have had my grains since the late 90's, and protect it/them like I would a family member. Or maybe a gift from a Goddess. So I was alarmed.
      But it appears the grain was happy, and has continued to have the mushroom accent, grow quickly, and hang together, so voila!
      Is there any research into which species may be incorporated into milk kefir grains?
