Re: need Kefir grains-any great recommendations? Body ecology brand?

What you want are the real live Kefir grains so you can keep making kefir forever for free. So called "starters" only contain enough for a few batches.

I bought some on ebay. My advice would be to look for a seller near you (so it doesn't have to spend a week in the mail) and make sure they have a good feedback score so you can trust them. Or if you don't like ebay find a kefir list and ask for someone near you that has some grains to share. Usually they want at least $5 for shipping so I found it wasn't that much more to just buy it off ebay.

My experience was that the ebay seller was much closer to me than anyone I could find on a kefir list. My grains arrived in one day and were so fresh I was drinking real kefir the very next day.
