Hello,
I'm new here. I'm not following an NT plan (at least not yet) but I have really enjoyed reading this board and picking up some healthful advice. I would like to buy some Kefir from my HFS to see how I like it. What brands are best? My HFS has Helios and 2 other brands that I can't remember the names of. Also, if I decide to start making my own kefir, how much work is it? It also seems like you have to continually make the kefir or the grains will die. Is this true? I work full time and am concerned I wouldn't have the time to devote to making my own. I don't even make my own meals most of the time.

: I pay someone to make healthy meals for me though so we don't eat out.
Thanks!

Kim

Kefir is very easy. And you can easily store the grains in the frig for a week or so in fresh milk when you don't want to use them.

I have friends that "brew" it in the frig after the first 6 hours so that it takes 2-3 days to make instead of 24 hours.

Thanks rstump! Can you clear up another mystery for me? I've read something about the grains not working right away after being stored. It all seems so mysterious to me at this point....
