Win 3 Free Starter Cultures: Sourdough, Yogurt, Kombucha & More

Good morning, readers! Happy Monday! It’s time to announce another giveaway.

By the way, you can expect to see a lot more contests on all the Real Food Media blogs in the coming weeks and months. We have been working with our sponsors on this, and they are excited to work closely with us to do these giveaways. So keep checking our blogs. Better yet, sign up for email updates from your favorite Real Food Media blogs. You can sign up for my free email updates here and you can sign up for Real Food Media email updates here. We’ll be giving away everything from fermented salad dressing to grass-fed meat to sprouted flour.

This week Cultures for Health is giving away 3 starter cultures. They have everything from sourdough to kombucha to kefir grains and yogurt starters. If you win, you can choose any 3 starter cultures.

If you already have kefir grains and a kombucha scoby, there are LOTS of other starters on the Cultures for Health site. Everything from yogurt starters like villi (from Finland) or filmjölk (Swedish) to 17 different varieties of sourdough starters. They also carry water kefir grains, which you can use to make kefir soda pop.
