Q & A:
How do you know if the grains are 'healthy'?
Kefir
grains are very resilient and will strive to maintain their health at
all times. As long as your grains are converting milk to kefir that
is not 'off' they are just fine. They may get stressed and change
shape or smell a bit (more yeasty or more stringy looking), but they
will bounce right back given the right conditions. Even when they are
not growing they can still produce a healthy drinkable kefir (such as
in soy or almond milk), though its best to give them optimal
conditions so they can grow.
What’s
the best size are Kefir Grains?
Kefir
grains sizes range all over the place depending on what stage they
are at in their life cycle, along with what season it is, what milk
they are in, how often they receive fresh milk, and etc.. Typically
the smaller the grain, the more productive it is because of the
greater amount of surface area exposed (many small grains vs one
large grain). Smaller grains tend to produce the optimal consistency
and flavor desired for a kefir.
Kefir grains can grow to be
quite large, however that does not mean that they are better. In
fact, when the grains are smaller, there is more surface area
involved which produces a better kefir (they also tend to grow more
easily at a smaller, more manageable size as well). One of the
smoothest kefirs we've personally tried was when we threw some of our
grains in a blender to make them extremely small. Not only did they
produce a thick creamy kefir, but they produced it more quickly.
Do
you have to be gentle with Kefir Grains?
Kefir
grains are pretty hardy little guys. Just like grass, it can take a
good beating but it may wear down over time if exposed to excessive
stress. To give you an idea, kefir grains will survive a blender, a
hammer, freezing, some heat (but not cooking), and of course, drying.
This does not mean they should be handled this way - care for them
like you would any pet, and they will be extremely happy and
productive for it!
