Thank you for sharing. I have a funny little story. Over the summer months cabbage was a ridiculous price and also-very small. Finally the price has come way down and the size is back to where it should be. So this past weekend was sauerkraut making time. Happy fermenting everyone. 😎🇨🇦
I so enjoyed this video. I do make all three of them. and I then realized that my aching knees have not ached for quite a while an I think it is due to the kombucha. Which I started making and drinking because of you. Thank you much.
Hello Donna! What a wonderful informative podcast this is, just as you, I have such a personal history with kefir and kombucha, fascinating information of where it comes from, always looking forward on Tuesdays hearing from you!
I started drinking Kefir in late October/early November last year. And I've never felt better. That quote 'What you seek is seeking you'? So true. I laugh like a drain when I hear the anti-dairy brigade squawking and clucking and waving their arms about the evils of dairy.
Hi ,thanks for your awesome information, can kids from 11 and under years old drink kambusha or Jun better? Please reply, my kids like it a lot. Thank you.
HI DONNA.. thanks for the video.. you did a nice job .. researched it all very well, and thankyou.. I have written before.. I have an update ..my update is good.. you may want to know.. I make kombucha tea and then I merged my kefir water crystals with the kombucha.tea I tried it . in a small container first to see if they both like each other and they did.. so I merged them both into my 5 gallon container and the first brew is in that 5 gal. then the second brew is in a 1.5 gallon container and I love it.. I think I have drank 15 gallons in the past few moths and this has become my only drink.. I drink upto 1 gallon a day sometimes...but usually 1/2 gallon a day and I love it so much then my veggies culture .. is also very good.. I eat them everyday also.. now.. I started a veggie culture mix with regular veggies and mix them together and that is my lunch everyday now and I love that too.. I have my daily routine and the whole story would take hundreds more words .. but I enjoy your video's and they help me alot.. my health is perfect and many people cannot believe I am 61 years old .. cause I look 40...and...I feel like I am 30...thanks God bless you keep them video's coming ..

THANKYOU.. I wish you had a blog ... to be able to read and enjoy all the reviews of lives improved with your suggestions .. anyhoo.. I want to add that I finally found a way to eat the fermented veggies in a way I like ..and turns out it tastes delicious and I eat it this way every time..& everyday.. 1/3 fermented veggies. (bell peppers,celery, carrots, brocali,turnips, ). mixed with 2/3 regular veggies .."all".. cut into bite size chunks..same veggies . the same veggies I ferment are the same veggies I use .. for the mix. sometimes . I add .. tomatoes, extra red bell peppers, and I add a little salad drssing (my milk kefir blended with mayo) (50/50),& seasoning spices , and add this all together into a 1 gallon container... shake it well so it mixes and I enjoy.. this over the next few days .. so delicious for me.. I noticed after a week.. of eating the fermented veggies like this daily that.. I ahve reached a new level of healthyness I have not felt this healthy since I was 20 years old.. I this is because I consume fermented juice, fermented veggies .. every single day in fact 80% of my daily food is fernmented now .. I have some rice every day also .. anyways thanks again hope to heasr from you again.. God Bless
Hi Daniel! I have a whole website and I write blogs every single week. There are hundreds of recipes as well! The recipes are fun and easy to make all the cultured foods delicious. You'll love them. Recipes, dips, drinks, smoothies and more! You can find everything here: www.culturedfoodlife.com/
Hi! Water kefir wont work well for this. It doesnt ferment other things well. You can use a veggie starter culture or whey from milk kefir. OR you can also ferment with just salt and water :)
Hi Michelle! I love water kefir. BUT in my personal opinion it is not as powerful as the other cultured foods (kombucha, milk or dairy free milk kefir, cultured veggies) I dont personal think you can have too many cultured foods. But I lean towards the other ones for higher amounts of probiotics. Also make sure your water kefir isn't too sweet. It is a little easier to get some sugar consumption with water kefir (vs kombucha) because of the fermentation time. So just make sure its not overly sweet :)
Thank you! I loved hearing your life journey about these foods! Yea I cant wait to get my Kefir Grains and Kombucha starter kitsch! Thank yoo DONNA!
How's it going, Valerie? Improvements?
I've been making kefir for a month now. I never heard of it before. Great story.

Yay! Glad it dropped down in price again!

Kefir is the main drink the famed Kenyan marathon runners drink.They call it Mursik.
Wow! Thanks for sharing!
Donna Schwenk Milk Kefir to be exact.😊
I'm going to do research. I must.

Always looking forward to your podcasts!!!! 😘 Keep up the amazing work Donna!
What would you think, Donna, of cultured Sour Melon?
Hi ,thanks for your awesome information, can kids from 11 and under years old drink kambusha or Jun better? Please reply, my kids like it a lot. Thank you.

Can water kefir ferment vegetables as well?

@@CulturedFoodLife thank you so much Donna. You are a great inspiration to me right now. Wishing you and your family a great health. Happy fermenting!
Thank you so much Uma!!
What came first kefir or kefir grains?? 🤔
Sorry my auto-correct has a mind of its own I meant to spell PODCASTS correctly 😛
I have question how much is to much on drinking Kefir water?
Hi Michelle! I love water kefir. BUT in my personal opinion it is not as powerful as the other cultured foods (kombucha, milk or dairy free milk kefir, cultured veggies) I dont personal think you can have too many cultured foods.
