Easy to begin making kefir and to maintain for later batches. Creamy, tasty flavor.
These kefir grains are excellent, active, and well cared for. I put a pouch in 2 liters of whole milk, and it began fermenting right away and produced a rich, creamy kefir with a pleasantly tangy flavor. The powdered grains multiply steadily, a sign of vitality and quality. So far easy to maintain, resilient, a reliable, long‑term culture.

Good dtuff
Great instructions. Be patient. First batch from new envelope can take over 24 hrs. Subsequent batchrd from the initial batch 8-12 hrs. I drink 5-6ozs every day and prebiotic is working perfectly

Kefir starter - No working !
kefir starter is absolutely useless. I tried making kefir twice, and both times I followed the directions exactly as written. No result ,the milk never turned into kefir. No thickening, no grain, no tang, nothing—just spoiled milk. don’t buy!

Easy to make
I was paying $5 for 32 oz of Kefir. I never thought about making it. It was easy. There was no learning curve for me. I let refrigerated milk sit in a 32 oz wide-mouth ball jar for an hour, added a packet, covered it with a coffee filter held in place with a rubber band, let it stand for 24 hours, and it was perfect. I've used 2% and 1% milk. I prefer 2%. I use up all but a1/4 cup (approx), and then fill it up with room temp milk and it makes another batch. I've lowered the fermentation time to 18 hrs. Of course, refrigerate it after it ferments. I don't filter it. I shake it up before pouring it for drinking. It's really been easy for me.

Pricey but did the job...
I recently purchased the Cultures for Health Kefir Starter Culture, and while the product itself delivered good results, I couldn't help but feel that it was a little pricey for what it offered. The package contained a small amount of kefir starter culture, and considering the cost, I expected a more generous quantity. Another aspect that left me somewhat disappointed was the instructions provided. As a first-time kefir maker, I was hoping for clear and detailed guidance on the preparation process, but the instructions seemed somewhat vague and lacking in crucial information. I had to search for additional resources online to understand the proper steps fully. That said, the kefir starter culture did work as promised, and my kefir turned out delicious and healthy. The cultures seemed to be of good quality, and they produced a creamy and tangy kefir drink that I enjoyed thoroughly. The taste and benefits were there, but I just wished for a smoother experience in the preparation phase. In the future, I might explore other kefir starter options that offer more value for the price and come with more comprehensive instructions, especially for beginners. While the Cultures for Health Kefir Starter Culture does the job, I feel there are better alternatives available that strike a better balance between cost and quantity while providing clearer guidance for users.

Didn't Work For Me...
My first attempt did not work. The seller contacted me with some suggestions. The second attempt worked perfectly! The key for me was allowing more time, 28 hours in my case as it is winter and a horrible cold snap. So take your home temp into consideration. 5 Star for the seller reaching out and for the product.

Great but very hard to get to grow
These worked well to get kefir very quickly. But very hard to control. Was getting over ferments in 8 to 12 hours complete separation. The house is at 72° and this is stored away from any heat sources etc. They tried true method is to simply reduce the amount of grains however you can't really see the grains there are pulverized into something like sand. And therein lies the problem I could never find a grain so even in straining you have no idea where the grains are to save them and move them back to the jar so you strain stir stir stir stir get down to some bottom curds and assume they're probably in there and throw them back in the jar. You should be able to see them and pluck them out and I just never got them to grow like that they remained sand-sized and very hard to locate. And as noted they just over ferment constantly which gives me great cheese but not great yogurty kefir. So I went to buying actual grains from somebody else things that are about the size of popcorn much easier to find much easier to work with. If they over ferment easy to pull out half of them and so on

I have been taking Kefir in smoothies daily for 4 year . I accidentally destroyed my kefir grains and I’m not able to get more for a few weeks . I bought theses to fill in the time till the grains came in . I am so happy with them. They are the best tasting and quick acting I have ever know . I give them an A+ and if I could afford them , I would never go back to my grains . Buy these - you never will be sorry .
