Hi Frantisek,

I know only anecdotal evidence of its healty properties from my parents and
a bit of marketing words from the manufacturer web-site. I can point you to
that web-site when I get to normal Internet, but its in Russian and have no
scientific evidence, AFAIK. The only useful thing there is a list of latin
names of cultures mixed in.

Btw, I heard that "sour cream" aka сметана (in Russian) is not very well
known outside of xUSSR. This was surprising for me, as it's a fundamental
component of our cuisine. I still can't believe that :) What is your
experience here?

For the record, "sour cream" is made by the same process as sour milk,
kefir or yougurt, but from cream. We use fresh cream only with coffee and
few other cases, while we use sour cream everywhere as a base for sauces
and toppings. And I love this :) I also wonder whether it's healthier then
using fresh cream.

Thanks Alex, I'll be seeing you there. Concerning the "tablet kefir", well
one thing which is nice about the kefir grains (which are just bubbling
upstairs :-)) is that the culture is extremely stable. I wonder where the
claims that the powdered commercial form is healthier than the original
culture came from? Could you track it down or send me a link? I've started
years ago my yogurt culture from kefir powder and it was a superb but I've
also mixed it with a lots of different microbes during the years.

Anyway I'll be around, if you could do another workshop or two on kvass
that would be sweat! :-))

Sincerely,

Frantisek
