Did you know that …?

About 1 to 1.5 kg of our body weight is made up of microorganisms living in our intestine.  They form the vital intestinal flora.  The main probiotic microorganisms found in the human intestine are Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli.  Bifidobacteria as well as Lactobacilli belong to the first bacteria that dwell in the intestine of babies and become an essential component of intestinal flora. These two Microorganisms are the most essential for maintaining proper digestion, and work in a symbiotic relationship to promote each other's growth. Hence the name Essential Duo.

Essential Duo supplies your intestine with high numbers of the probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacteria longum.

Suggested Use:
(Use Essential Duo just like you would the kefir starter culture)

To activate starter for initial usage:
Into container (preferably glass with lid), mix together the entire contents of one foil package of Essential Duo culture and one quart of slightly warmed (about skin temperature or 92 degrees) liquid, preferably water from a young green coconut. Essential Duo can also be used to ferment soy, coconut, rice, goat, or sheep milk.
Shake, stir or whip with a whisk to mix well. Put lid on container.
Let this mixture ferment at 72-75 F for 24-48 hours. (You will notice it is ready if the coconut water becomes cloudy and has a distinctive, sour taste.  It will maintain its water-like consistency.)
Once ready, place into the refrigerator. Even in your refrigerator the fermentation process continues, but chilling will slow down the fermentation of the healthy bacteria and beneficial yeast. 
* Directions for transferring Essential Duo after the initial batch has been made are included inside packaging.
* Donna Gates recommends adding Essential Duo starter to the liquid found inside the young, green coconut.  Shelf life is 12 months from the manufactured date, or longer when stored in a freezer.
