In search of kefir or dhara grains

[mihmo.livejournal.com]

Does anyone have an over-abundance of kefir (or dhara) grains? I'd like to start making my own kefir (or dhara) but I can't find the grains at any local stores (I've tried Cambridge Naturals and Harvest Co-op in Central - suggestions on other places to look welcome!)

Thanks in advance for any help / advice.

Kefir isn't a grain-grain really, it's more like a big ball of yeast I think...

BUT I have seen Israeli couscous at Harvest coop before although it's not always there (Central Sq anyway.) Where I've seen it, is if you face towards the back of the store in the bulk aisle, they are on the right-hand side, at the end of that aisle, on the very bottom row (under the beans and lentils). They are not always there but I'm 90% sure I've seen them there recently.

I think I've seen Israeli couscous at Porter Square Shaw's too, in the international aisle where they have all the Goya.

Israeli couscous is the best isn't it?
