Liberty Yogurt and new Choices location
I had emailed Liberty Yogurt company and got a reply today. They put me in touch with their distributor here, National Cheese, who have told me that the Liberty products are sold at:
- Choices (new one near me at 6855 Station Hill Drive, Burnaby) - Safeways large enough to have a Natural Food section (eg the one near Coquitlam Center) AND - their own deli outlet, located at 7525 Byrne Road, Burnaby. Hours are 8:30 to 4:30 M-F and 9 - 2 on Sat. The most-helpful woman at National Cheese also described kefir to me - I think I may try this product too, depending if I can find out what the carb count is. Just thought I'd pass on the info :) |
Kefir
Hi jeanyyy, :)
Could you give me the description she made of Kefir? I bought some last week, did not try it yet... the nutrition information per 125ml serving of the plain kind is : cal: 64 protein:4.5g fat:2.5g carb:6g The ingredients are : partially skim organic milk, bacterial culture What I am wondering is... can we calculate the carb count the same way we do with yogurt since there is live bacteria in it? 4g/cup? The texture is more liquid then yogurt, I think it would make a great shake... have a nice LC day! Zab :) |
There's a ton of really helpful discussion on kefir and yogurt (making of, carb counting of, etc. etc.) in the Candida forum.
Also, a quick SEARCH (using the little globe on the upper right of your screen) for "kefir" should get you the great info already shared fairly quickly. Hope this helps. |
Zab, all she mentioned to me about kefir was that it was full of active cultures, fairly liquid and that when you drink it, you can feel a kind of "zapping" in your mouth (she called em "little critters").. Sounded kinda interesting to me.

Thanks IslandGirl! I will check it out! :)
Jeanyyy: I tried it, and I really like it, it's true that there is this special sensation in your mouth. I searched a bit on the web and I found out that the bacteries in kefir multiply at room temperature in 24h, so yesterday I took about a cup of kefir, put it in a bottle on the counter and added milk ... today, I had a whole bottle of kefir waiting for me! have a great day Zab :) |
