So true, Dave... I drink the whey. There is no sense in throwing the whey away :). I've read it's also very good for plants. You would not believe how much whey the Kefir makes. I pour my it into an unbleached cotton bag, hang it in the fridge for a couple of days and have my quark and whey.
I have not found one negative thing about making and taking Kefir...I highly recommend it to everyone. I have 4 quarts of Kefir grains and I started out with only 2 tablespoons. When their happy they make so many so fast you do not know what to do with them. I've tried to give them to my family but they turn their noses up to them...it's their loss.

It looks very interesting and I will have to try it. Additionally it looks to be a good source of undenatured whey as a byproduct. Plus the Kefir also works to reduce the lactose sugars in the whey. What do you do with the leftover whey? - Steve N From: Sandy [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 9:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: CS>effects of STOPPING EIS? - kefir Hi Steve, Actually, I use both but mainly use the milk Kefir. I also make Kefir quark because I try to stick to the Budwig diet as much as possible. The quark makes a nice consistency when mixing with flax oil and fruit or for salad dressings...it tastes really great too. I also make smoothies with the milk kefir.
