darkstar Posted October 17, 2005 Can anyone suggest a reliable Australian based source of any of the following cultures for use in food preparation? Koji: Aspergillus oryzae Ontjom: Neurospora sitophila Tempeh: Rhizopus oligosporus Kombucha tea fungus: Tea ferment culture Kefir grains: Milk ferment culture I have been chasing leads for some time now, but they always go dead just when I think I’ve finally found what I’m looking for Thanks for your time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
watertrade Posted October 17, 2005 Hi Deadstar, I think I'm one of your dead leads- are you Josh W from QLD?? If so I'm sorry about that! work got abit frantic and I lost track of things for a while .- but saying that I am still keen to send you the cultures we talked about . I only have the tempeh, Kefir I am expecting the koji to arrive late this week/ early next week - I have two seperate parcels arriving from Japan and the US. Both of which im really looking forward to! watch this space! I will be back to let you know I have put them in the post! sometime in the next few days - The koji I would like to culture up abit, then send. So maybe just the tempeh and kefir to begin with.? cheers Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
