Thank you for doing these probotic vids. I recently began my raw journey and have yet to try fermented foods. The raw saurerkraut just dont sound appealing right now, but i can and will definitely do either one or both of these coconut recipes. You talked about sour foods, I began juicing rhubarb…how do sour foods compare to the fermented foods?? Just wondering. Thanks Natasha.

Thank you StarFlower99654 for the comment. Wonderful news about your raw journey and great that you are experimenting with fermented food. One thing I can suggest with the saurerkraut is to add a little to your salad, not so much that it over powers it, but just a little. As for sour food, I consider fermented food to be sour food. I’ve never juiced rhubarb, let me know how it tastes!!

Because there is yeast, and sugars do they produce alcohol?

Yes, but only if you leave it out to ferment over a significant amount of days and weeks, etc.. Even then, to get a significant amount of alcohol you would have to distill it. That is why, kefir is only fermented for 24-48 hours, in that short amount of time the coconut water is fermented and there is only small traces of alcohol.

What about making your own kefir at home? I just purchased dehydrated milk kefir grains and started bringing them to life. Isn’t that an assurance that you are taking live active probiotics? Also, is water kefir better/worse than milk kefir or is it the same?

Is it ok to use the water from mature coconuts? I don’t have access to young coconuts locally. It sounds like you can make kefir with anything that has sugars, so can you also use fresh juice? Thanks Natasha!

My exp w/Kefir: Ive had same Kefir grains for 2 yrs. Ive left ‘em in fridge for up to 6 wks w/ fresh milk; still good. Eaten extras sprinkled in salad; tastes tart. Starting to use whey to lactoferment. Plan to experiment soon w/ use in coconut water & spring water. 1 Tip: Kefir PH can ‘pickle’; its when kefir ferments into alcohol/hootch. Remedy is to clean w/filtered H2O and rest in fridge w/sugar water for 48 hrs, then w/milk as normal. If still ‘pickled’ repeat resting until PH is restored.

Young coconut is preferred ‘cuz of sugar content. If only mature coconut is avail, Id add some raw sugar or even honey, anything but white sugar. Just to ensure that kefir has something to eat.
