Happy New Year!

About a year ago, I had these little babies sitting in my refrigerator. But I left them alone for 3 months or more, which, as a result, they had became harden and turned into dark yellowish. I wonder is it okay for me to culture them back to health at this stage?

And does it have to be cultured in a dark bottle jar with cover as a seal?

Nah...I threw it away long ago. I'm thinking to purchase kefir grains from you, but there're questions.

How are you going to pack and deliver it to me? Put it into a plastic box and send for delivery? And are those grains able to survive during delivery process?

I have been sending my babies as far as Sabah and Sarawak without any problems. One mother had the grains spent the weekend at her office while she was nursing a sick infant at home and the grains survived!  Don't worry these little critters are really tough.  tongue.gif

Your babies are really tough! yawn.gif

One more question, is it okay to culture it in a glass with a sealed cover? I'm not sure if it will affect its growth or not cuz there is no oxygen supply @@

It is not advisable to culture it in a glass with a sealed cover because the gas built up may cause the cover to fly off! blush.gif  A hanky secured with a rubber band would be more appropriate.

Okay, I would like to purchase the grains from you. laugh.gif
