Fresh Milk Kefir Grains - 1 TBSP

I ordered two batches of the wet kefir grains. The first order was during the winter and worked well and quickly started making kefir, which improved in quality over time. The second order was a few months later and took a long time to start making kefir, and I think that the shipping conditions may have been harsh for that order. I thought that the grains were dead for the second order and asked the company if they would send another jar. They did, and they gave me a tracking number for it at no cost, and they also told me to not give up on the slow grains yet because other customers with the same problem were able to start making kefir after being patient with the grains for a long time. The tracking information says that the replacement will arrive here in a few days, but the grains that I thought were dead have started to make kefir.

Great product!

I recently bought these grains and started making Kefir with them. I'm on my 4th or 5th ferment now and they are working perfectly. I also had some severe digestive issues and drinking about 1 cup of Kefir daily has produced a shocking improvement. I am so grateful for this product. Thank you, Jesus.

I'm very, very, very happy with the kefir grains I received. The quality exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend purchasing from them. The directions provided were simple and easy to follow. What more can I say? Here, you can discover more about these exceptional kefir grains.I had doubts about getting the promised 1 TABLESPOON of grains because of common problems with other sellers. So, I decided to weigh the product. I was happy to find out that the weight, after draining the liquid, matched the advertised 0.5 oz. I further confirmed the tablespoon measurement by weighing it and found it to be almost 1.5 TABLESPOONS. This check has made me trust both the listing and the product. The result made me go, "Wowww!" — I'm even more impressed!The quality of the kefir grains is exceptional, and if I could, I would give it 10 stars. For the initial batch, the kefir grains need revival by placing them in fresh milk, and in my case, I witnessed whey at the bottom of the jar within a night, indicating their freshness and readiness for activation. After a week, the grains have more than doubled or almost tripled in size, reducing fermentation time and prompting me to separate them to avoid excessive sourness.Everyone in my house says it is so much more delicious than store-bought kefir. The fermentation time is 24 hours or less, so it's great to have one or more kefir lovers in the house!I am pleased with how rapidly the kefir shows its promise, and I encourage others to give it a try. Best of luck

I’ve read the previous review on this product and I have to say that my experience with these kefir grains has been completely different. First off, it's important to know that smaller kefir grains are actually a sign of freshness and health. They might take a little time to adapt, especially if they've been exposed to extreme temperatures, but once they do, they produce a fantastic, rich kefir.I’ve used these grains in different conditions, and yes, sometimes the first batch might not be as sour, especially if the grains are still adjusting. However, the flavor improves with each batch. By the second or third fermentation, you get that classic kefir tang, and the grains really start to thrive.The idea that these grains don’t produce proper kefir isn’t true in my experience. With a little patience, they’ve produced some of the best kefir I’ve ever had—perfectly balanced and great for drinking, adding to smoothies, or pouring over cereal. I highly recommend giving them a try, and I’m sure you’ll be as satisfied as I am.

I received these grains with the goal of boosting my gut health through exploring fermented foods. It is nicely sealed and arriving with clear instructions, showcasing attention to detail. When it came to trying them out, I started small with just 1/2 cup of milk, following a tip I found. The organic pasteurized milk worked just fine; it turns out these grains thrive on lactose, and this milk had plenty.Over the first week, I gradually increased the fresh milk to about 2 cups, and interestingly, I didn't discard any milk, contrary to common recommendations. My fermentation routine, not exactly by the book, involved around 20 hours per batch, split between 8 hours on the counter and 12 in the fridge. Within just a week or so, the grains more than tripled in size, showcasing their robust nature. Refrigeration slowed them down but didn't dampen their vitality.Adding to the delight, when I initially received the jar full of kefir grains, it was more than just a tablespoon! That's plenty for a big family like ours – six people. My dad is now into kefir more than me, and even the kids are getting used to the taste. It's become a family affair. I truly appreciated the responsiveness and assistance were high-end. The kefir grains exceeded expectations; they're seriously active, even from the first batch. I'd highly recommend these grains to anyone looking to embark on a gut-healthy journey.

Picture shows my grains after opening them just a few mins ago. Wasn’t expecting them to look like little peices in water are they a still valid or are they expired? Will change rating if this is resolved or are still good.
