Kefir powder starter is great for non-dairy kefir milk.
Last week, I gave some advice on where you could start to look for kefir grains.
This week it’s about kefir powder starter. The difference between the two is outlined in the previous post; also why you may opt for one or the other.
Kefir Powder Starter
I can recommend this brand of powder from a European company. http://tinyurl.com/gowowc9

Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis
Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris
Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris
Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp.cremoris
Lactobacillus kefyr
Klyveromyces marcianus var. marxianus
Saccaromyces unisporus

Non-dairy covers a whole range of milks:
- Coconut
- Almond
- Cashew
- Other Nut milks
- Seed milks
It’s so quick to make too!

I love to experiment with food, write poetry, read, walk in nature, take iphone photographs, sing, cycle, watch good movies, documentaries, dramas and comedy.
