Have you heard of the wonderful starter cultures and kefir grains offered by Cultures for Health? I recently stumbled upon this company and was delighted not only to find they were local to me, but also to see the excellent line of healthy cultural starter kits they offer to get you started on boasting your health with probiotics.

and let it sit on your counter for 12 hours. If you use raw milk, you can make your own raw milk yogurt without even heating the milk (beyond preparing your starter) and it turns out amazingly thick and creamy. You can protect the majority of the delicate nutrients in raw milk this way! You only have to heat a small portion of milk to build your starter and from there you can add a bit of this starter to your raw milk and set it on the counter and it will culture in a matter of hours. It is the best homemade yogurt I have tried yet – rich and creamy. If you take proper care of your starter, you will only have to purchase the dehydrated starter once and away you go! The yogurt starter comes with very clear directions for using pasteurized or raw milk.
Cultures for Health also offers water kefir grains, milk kefir grains, sourdough starter, buttermilk starter and also sorts of sprouting and fermenting tools. This is a great place to stock up on some helpful tools for natural eating. These products will save you money by allowing you to make it yourself! Not only is it economical, but it will be more nutritious and fresh coming from your kitchen!
