Re: Water kefir grains

I think you can eat them!  That would solve the problem, eh?

Here's one site I found:

"Water kefir grains are translucent white and break easily under light pressure. They more closely resemble irregular crystals. To the tongue, water kefir grains have a very mild taste and remind me of eating hominy. Milk kefir is quite chewy and tough. Both kinds of grains are safe to eat or put into smoothies."
