Can you cut up your kefir grains?

Postby stone on Sun Jun 16, 2013 8:58 am

My kefir grains get rather large,
about 3/8 inch in diameter.

Can I cut these up?

When I buy new kefir grains
they are usually about 1/16
in diameter. Are these just cuttings?

Thanks.

You can just tear them apart with your (clean) fingers. After a while parts of the grains sometimes break off and form new grains, so yes, you can divide up the grains.
