Medium-Weight Fabrics. Medium-weight fabric curtains should measure two to two and a half times the width of the space they need to cover. This space is the width of the window frame for curtains mounted inside the frame or the window frame width plus 6 inches for curtains that extend to the sides. Because sheer fabrics are much lighter, sheer curtains should be wider than their medium-weight counterparts.
Kefir is a fermented drink, traditionally made using cowâs milk or goatâs milk. It is made by adding kefir âgrainsâ to milk. These are not grains in the conventional sense, but cultures of yeast and lactic acid bacteria that resemble a cauliflower in appearance. Over a period of 24 hours or so, the microorganisms in the kefir grains multiply and ferment the sugars in the milk, turning it into kefir. Then the grains are removed from the liquid, and can be used again. This is what kefir (jar) and kefir grains (spoon) look like:
Scientifically speaking, the content of a freeze dried kefir grain has shown to be composed of 4.4% fat, 12.1% ash, 45.7% Muco-polysaccharides, 34.3% total protein (consisting of 27% insoluble protein,1.6% soluble protein and 5.6% free amino acids) as well as a trace amount of unknown substances.
