10g of Kombuchaorganic Live Certified Organic MILK KEFIR Grains - Grass Fed Cow's MILK Kefir Grains - LAB Tested

At the same time as the kefir grains, I bought a couple of fermentation jars (I use one but as it is glass I am glad I have a spare) and a little sieve (both of which turned out to be perfect for the job). The grains came in a tiny food-quality plastic bag and I wondered how long it would take to get a mug of kefir. 48 hours later I was enjoying my first mug full. I put a mug of warmed milk (from the fridge to the microwave for 1.5 mins on 900w setting warms the milk nicely) to ferment every day. Only about 3 weeks later and I am not only enjoying a very thick mug of Kefir each morning but once a week I am eating some of the culture to keep it at bay :) I also wash out the fermentation jar only once a week. The jar sits on my worktop in a fairly shaded area and yet the microbes still thrive. Given the cost of shop-bought kefir I recouped my initial investment within two weeks; so all it is costing me now is a mug of milk (blue top - full fat milk) and a little microwave electricity every day (I only use the microwave because I am not willing to wait for the milk to get to room temperature slowly). All in all I call that a win. The three photos show the kefir before decanting, the empty jar and the cultures in the sieve. The fermentation jars are top quality too. I have also found that the mug of kefir each morning keeps the hungry-bugs at bay for about 6 hours (I am retired but fairly active so burn energy); which is great for anyone practicing intermittent fasting. Update after 3 months of daily drink - the kefir is nice and thick every 24 hours or so. Very sour/tart which is excellent. I need a bigger seive! I have to eat some of the cultures to keep them in check too. I have not washed the fermentation jar for at least 3 weeks and all is still very good and clean inside the jar. All in all - highly recommended.

Finally, I can make proper kefir (not the store bought nonsense that looks like milk with guar gum)! And it arrived very safely packaged, fabric sealed, with helpful instructions

Having spent the last 2 years in and out of doctors, suffering with tiredness and muscle weakness with no resolution from said doctors, i was on the point of giving up on everything when i began to realise that even eating food was making me unwell. Not any one specific food or food groups though, all foods. As a measure of last resort i decided to put myself on a back to basics diet. No processed foods, no sugar, just single ingredient foods and though researching the health benefits of various foods from around the world, i chanced upon this miracle product. It has been a game changer for me and it has given me my life back. I can make plans again. I can have hopes and dreams again. I can just do things without worrying about how many days it will take to recover and it's all down to a few grams of Kefir. No it has not turned me into superman but it did have me thinking it when i started taking this such was the effect it has had. I will say that what you have delivered wont seem like much at first but place it in a fermentation Jar and just feed it milk every other day and the magic will start to happen. It wont taste great and my advice would be to just pour away the strained fekir for a couple of weeks while it gets up to speed unless you have a strong disposition. The taste will improve but it is an acquired taste rather than an enjoyable one but with its incredible benefits it is so definitely worth it. It does "something" in your gut. I don't really know what it does but it does good things down there. I am no longer tired and my muscle strength is returning. What it is doing down there is nothing short of a miracle for me. Dont bother buying the shop branded fekir yogurt as there is so little fekir in them. Buy this one, make it yourself and save yourself some money as well as its health benefits it gives. If you're reading this and my story seems familiar to you, then try this out. Maybe it will benefit others as much as it has done for me. Couldn't rate this product any higher.

So happy with this that I just ordered the water kefir grains! First time making kefir or fermenting anything, it worked super fast, 24hrs later, I had yummy homemade kefir and twice as much grains of what I initially received, I’m impressed! The instructions were clear, although it didn’t specify whether the milk should be cold or room temperature and I think this could be an improvement.

My second purchase will be the last I've tried them a second time it's a simple recipe so impossible to go wrong and yet it still did so .

When it arrived I wasn’t sure if the milk had any grains in it but after close inspection I did fine some but they were very very tiny. So I followed the instructions, I used 250mls of Graham’s organic milk with a spoon of cream from the top of it. I waited until day 4, and strained, the grains were slightly more apparent but very delicate. I didn’t rinse I just added about a pint of Graham’s milk again, and today after 2 days it’s much thicker and the grains appear to be expanding in size thankfully. The picture on the listing shows very big mature grains and that will take some getting to. I’ve just put another 1.5 pints if milk as this is where I want it to be as we are a big family and now after todays batch I’m very confident this batch is going to keep growing and keep improving over time. I’m use to making fermented breads fruit veg and drinks….. and Greek yoghurt, so if you’re buying this and have little patience ……. I wouldn’t bother, it needs to mature more, but will pay off if you’re consistent and patient. Overall I’m happy. 1st picture is of size of grains when arrived, the next is today’s 1.5 pint of milk and the underneath of the jar with the bigger grains forming.

It took 4 cycles for the taste to master and the grains properly grow, and I’m now making the best tasting kefir i ever had! Cow, goat, sheep kefir they all turn into proper creamy good bacteria ridden liquid gold! Absolutely love it!

The notes which came with this said it may take a few tries to "wake it up". Not sure if it has. Firstly, I thought it was supposed to make a milky but fizzy drink, which isnt whats happening. I ve tried about 4 times so far, and although I get a thick yogurt, it breaks up into curds & whey quite easily, so its neither thick yogurt nor thin drink & not fizzy either. The other bit I m not sure about is that it has not yet produced any grains/graules - & I'm having to leave a bit of the old yogurt to start the new one. i suspect there is quite an art to getting this right, & its probably worth continuing to experiment.. For sure, it IS alive in a way a shop bought yogurt is not, and I believe its very good for gut health, and you have total control of whether there is any added suar or not.

Graines de kéfir en parfait état, de bonne qualité et livrées sous vide dans du lait. Elles se sont rapidement adaptées et ont doublé de volumes après 2 cycles de kéfir. Je recommande 👍

I received my kefir grains last week, followed the easy straight forward instructions, and since then, these wonderful, high-quality grains have been producing daily delicious, smooth full-fat milk (I use non-organic) kefir, with a yogurt-like texture. The grains have already multiplicated, and I am very happy with my purchase. I have contacted the seller after my purchase with a question regarding the shipment, he answered quickly. I recommend these grains and seller to everyone that wishes to start their culture.

Después de 8 días por fin hace kéfir! Los granos llegaron muy bien embalados pero al recogerlos (estaban en el buzón) la leche en la que vienen embalados estaba muy caliente. Tenía mis dudas de su sobrevivencia.. Tal como dicen las instrucciones que vienen con los granos, los dejé en leche que iba cambiando de vez en cuando por unos cuantos días. Pensé que los granos no habían sobrevivido ya que la leche se quedaba muy líquida y con el olor típico de leche fermentada. Hoy por fin 8 días después la leche ya es espesa y con olor a kefir! Lo he probado y la verdad está buenísimo! He tenido granos de kéfir anteriormente y este es el que mejor kefir ha dado tanto en sabor como en textura. Tener paciencia que tarda sus dias, en las instrucciones dicen de 3 a 5.. a mí me tardo 8 días..

kefir, super produit probiotique, j'avoue que c'est un peu contraignant à faire, mais très agréable à boire, en faite, c'est un yogourt, il faut aimer. Après une cure, on se sent bien. Je vais recommencer. Le goût est neutre et se laisse boire facilement. Pas besoin de plus de 10 grains car ca pousse beaucoup et vous pouvez offrir a d'autres personnes.
