Review: Not too many grains but works well - It is true that only a few grains can be found in the package, as the others stated. But I find that it worked out well, they do the job to produce plenty enough kefir for about two person a day. The kefir is not drinkable after the first day, but with the second milk it is already good tasting and thickened consitency.Depends on the kind of milk I use it produces different thickness of kefir.I've tried buffalo milk, and it makes much thicker kefir than with goatmilk.I keep the jar in a warm place up on a top of a cabinet, the warmth deffinietly helps to set it, it is always perfect at the 24 hr mark.I'm only making kefir for about a week now, and I've noticed that more established the grains become, thicker and sourer the kefir becomes.So I'm happy with it, I don't know if I would need more than this amount, it really does the job, nicely I must say. For those who compared it that this small amount does not make the same kefir taste and thickness as they know kefir to be: if they refering to store bought kefir,, that is not the same as this.Store bought kefir is not cultured with kefir grains, milk is injected with cultures that is found in kefir. Anybody can look this up,, for example on wikipedia. I want to add to my review because I found success with them and from reading other peoples reviews many could not succeed. Some people close the top with lids while they are culturing.Forgetting that thise are living cultures.The bacteria/yeast inhales and exhales, they need oxigen for proper functioning and proper fermentation.So one needs to make sure oxygen can get into the jar continuosly, so best to cover it with cheese cloth and rubber band.Glass jar is good, plastic and other things like metal can effect it.Keep it in warm place, like top of the cabinet. I shake mine up a few times in the 24 hr period, to ensure even fermentation.I think when the thickened milk starts to separate from the whey,that is when it's starts to be good.I shake it together, let it sit for 2-3 more hrs, shake it again and ready.
Review: Poor quality grains. - I bought these grains (Cultures for Health - CFH) during the second week of August 2016. The extremely small amount of grains you get is a joke. I had several issues getting good kefir, including poor texture and taste, and lack of growth in the grains. I made several adjustments, including different amounts of milk and different culturing times, and still had difficulty. I ended up getting another order of grains during the first week of September 2016, and after activating them, I combined both sets of grains. I have continued culturing through early October, again making several adjustments (including adjusting ambient temperature) to try to get a good batch of kefir. The grains have made very minimal growth and could barely produce 2 cups of okay kefir, still lacking in texture. I did get a few decent batches of kefir over the course of almost 2 months, but it seemed to be by chance and did not appear to be directly related to anything differently I did, because I could not reproduce the same kefir while keeping all the other factors the same. I was hopeful and really gave these grains a chance, but after almost 2 whole months of investing a lot of time and effort, I only have 1 TEASPOON of grains (a heaping teaspoon, and that is with 2 orders of grains). I then bought from a competitor, and am amazed at the superior quality of their grains. The taste and texture is excellent and significantly better than CFH—you can't even compare the two. What I achieved after about 1 week with the competitor's grains, I could not achieve after 2 months with CFH grains. The competitor's grains grew from 2 TBS (what I ordered) to 3/4 cup in ~ 2 weeks (14 batches). Now that is what I call healthy, active grains. Maybe others are having a good experience with these (CFH) grains, and if they are, good for them. But I wonder if people who gave 5 stars for CFH actually know how amazing kefir can be. Don't get me wrong, CFH grains do turn the milk into kefir, but the overall quality is poor and far inferior to at least one competitor that I tried. I did contact CFH with questions and they were prompt and helpful, and they did send me a free order when I had issues. But I am still dissatisfied with the poor quality of their product. The pictures attached show the amount I grew with TWO orders of grains after ~2 months of culturing. (one order was cultured for less than 2 months as it arrived later).

## Features

- HEIRLOOM STYLE: These kefir starter grains can be used to continuously re-culture more kefir for as long as you want, offering an essentially limitless supply from just one purchase.
- HEALTH BENEFITS: While kefir is similar to drinkable yogurt, it actually contains 3x more probiotics than yogurt! It's also a great source of vitamin D, calcium, vitamin B12, riboflavin, and vitamin K2.
- VERSATILE: Kefir can be consumed plain, flavored in a second fermentation, added to smoothies, or used as an ingredient to make a plethora of healthy snacks, including soups, dips, and even baked goods.
- QUICK AND EASY: This low maintenance culture yields a quart of kefir every day! All you have to do is let grains sit in milk for 12-24 hours at room temp (68-85°F).
- STRESS FREE: Our kefir grains arrive in a dehydrated state, giving them a longer shelf life as opposed to live kefir grains, which would need to be cultured right away. This way you can culture whenever you're ready, or even give them as a gift.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there anyway to store them for long periods if I am not making kefir on a daily basis?**
A: I have kept homemade kefir in the fridge for over two months and consumed it without issues.  Kefir was a way to store milk long periods in clay pots in caves before refrigeration. If you want to go even longer you can freeze them.

**Q: I received lifetime kefir grains today but there were no instructions included in the box!!  disappointing!  please help!  thank you!**
A: The Kefir grains need to be re-hydrated by placing them in a glass jar of 8oz of milk covered with a plastic top or placing a coffee filter with a rubber band to hold in placeOrganic whole milk, don't use "ultra pasteurized milk" let ferment for 24 hours then discard milk, repeat this for 3-5 days. After 3 days you can consume the Kefir.When straining the kefir use a plastic a plastic strainer and spoons.Never use metal utensils.  You can also do a second ferment after straining your Kefir. Second ferment for 6-24 hours to increase its nutritional value. hope this has been of help. Best milk to use: Raw Coats milk, Raw Cows milk, Organic whole milk. PS never use ultra pasteurize milk.

**Q: can kefir be placed in hot oatmeal?**
A: Yes, it will do just fine in hot oatmeal. Depending on the temperature it may kill some of the beneficial bacteria in the kefir. If you want to avoid the heat you can always try something like cold overnight oats.

**Q: Can these be used to make coconut MILK keifer?**
A: You'll want to make coconut milk kefir with grains specifically for water kefir.  Check it out on YouTube.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's alive!
*by S***A on July 2, 2025*

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I didn't want to order fresh grains in the midst of summer, so I went with dehydrated. I read reviews and watched videos so I knew to expect a small but mighty volume of grains and the need for patience. The heat dome came just after I ordered so I wasn't sure I'd be successful due to hot conditions during shipping. The first day I added a cup of milk - no change after 24 hours. The second day I drained and added another cup of milk - nothing. The third day - slightly thicker so I drained and added 1.5 cups of milk. Today on day four, I came home and it worked so fast the curds separated from the whey. I don't have air conditioning, so I'm sure the heat helped speed things up. I drained the grains and noticed the kefir was a little grainy - but supposedly that is normal during reactivation (thanks LLM). The kefir smelled great, like yogurt, so I drank it in a smoothie. I am still alive (first time fermenting anything so a bit wary of my lack of skills) and am culturing 2 C of milk for tomorrow. I skipped the whole cloth and rubber band shenanigans and just put a loose plastic cap on as it is easier to clean, which seems to be working so far.
