Reply #14: Yogurt is good . . .

[Richard D]

. . . home made Kefir is great, and much easier than yogurt. All you need to do is buy or beg some kefir grains (the starter) from someone and every day you can have fresh kefir. Way more probiotics than yogurt, and you don't have to worry about keeping it warm during the brewing process since it even will happen at cool temperatures. Plus the kefir grains keep growing and reproducing so you can share with friends. One purchase will last forever if you take good care of them.

You can also make great non-dairy drinks using the kefir grains (though once you do so they can't go back to milk).
