About This Product

FRESH KEFIR GRAINS - price includes USPS Priority Shipping ( also with cold pack in summer months)

DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS for reviving and making KEFIR from at home included.

Kefir is a fermented and cultured beverage. As far as taste goes, it tastes a lot like a yogurt drink.

OUR GRAINS ARE RAISED ON LOCAL PASTEURIZED COW MILK.

What makes Kefir so great to have on hand is that it is nutrient dense. It has plenty of B vitamins, potassium, calcium and protein.

Not to mention, like yogurt, the probiotics are important. They help improve the healthy bacteria ratio in your gastrointestinal tract.

While you can use dairy milk to produce Kefir, you can also choose non-dairy options like coconut milk which makes a lovely smooth Kefir.

 

When you have Kefir grains, expect them to reproduce and produce more grains.

 

TEMPERATURE:  Room temp (70-85F) is ideal.  In order to maintain a warm temperature in your Kefir vessel, you might consider a fermentation heater belt to warm the environment.

These belts will help keep your Kefir grains warm, especially when the colder months arrive.

 

STRAINING: Use the proper strainer to collect all the Kefir grains, especially the baby grains which can fall through some strainers.

Our fine mesh strainers  provide the ideal mesh to allow kefir  to flow through but contain even baby grains.

NOTES:

  • The grains we harvest and sell are EXACTLY the big fluffy grains you see on our website.
  • ALLERGENS;  CONTAINS MILK / LACTOSE from Cow Milk

 

  • Before shipping the grains we Fresh Freeze them, as this allows them to travel safely for several days
    • When we freeze them the grains are both protected but also stressed when they are revived- follow the revival instructions.
    • The grains exude liquid when frozen, shrinking in size.
    • We ship our grains USPS Priority Mail, fresh frozen and in a thermal envelope. They will thaw during transit; that's not an issue. 
    • Once revived (as per instructions) the grains will grow, thrive and multiply as well.
    • You’ll have big fluffy grains after a few weeks of nurturing and feeding them properly.
  • The grains you receive will make fantastic Kefir!

    Love the smell

    Posted by Barbara on 6th Jul 2015

    When I opened my little package of kefir grains they smelled so good! Yeasty in a good way. And it was a sizeable amount, more than I expected. I made a batch of milk kefir that I'm going to use in place of buttermilk in my cornbread. Now I'm making water kefir. I really prefer that flavored with lemon juice. That and kombucha have helped me get over my diet soda addiction.

    Second Time Around

    Posted by Ryan H. on 29th Nov 2014

    I bought grains from another site and they took forever to get going. I bought these as an attempt to get a faster batch. Arrived in great condition taking about a week to produce clean tasting kefir in a cooler kitchen. I ended up giving away my original grains. Easily handles 3/4 of a gallon per ferment.

    Making good Kefir

    Posted by Michelle L on 14th Jan 2013

    "I've been having fun getting to know my new kefir grains. I am very happy with the quality and freshness that they arrived in. After following the enclosed directions they are now producing a quart of creamy, zippy, tangy kefir every day and the grains have even started multiplying. Kefir is my new favorite breakfast... it's been a little over a week and I'm already noticing an improvement in my tummy and skin issues. Thanks Steve for my new kefir babies! Yours in health, Michelle L., Olympia, WA"
