"Grains of the Prophet - 

The people of the Caucasus mountains have been making kefir for hundreds (or even thousands) of years. In this region, kefir grains are known by the name 'Grains of the Prophet' ... Their traditional legend about the origin of kefir grains is that the prophet Mohammed gifted kefir grains to the Orthodox Christians in this region ... Mohammed is said to have taught the people how to make kefir, and the people revered kefir as a health-promoting food.  

The kefir grains and methods for making kefir were kept secret by people in the Caucasus mountains for many generations. Owning kefir grains was equated with wealth in this region. The people believed that the benefits of kefir would somehow be diminished if the secrets of making kefir were shared outside of their region. Marco Polo is said to have tried kefir, and kefir was prized as a medicinal food, yet the keys to making kefir were not shared until the early 1900’s.

The goodness and many blessings of raw milk extends into virtually all milk products such as kefir the amazing food that was most highly treasured by the Russian Army!

This blog writer has greatly enjoyed the unique nourishing extra ingredient/s in kefir since 1978 when a certain dairy was in existence in Southern California and delivering their kefir into health food stores in San Diego.

We can make our own raw milk kefir when we have access to raw milk (and "kefir grains")! 

This blog writer takes raw kefir and extends it into fermentation states to make a highly enhanced kefir and he also just added ghee to make a high flying cloud-like kefir!!
