About this item

  • 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: Water kefir is full of enzymes and probiotics for digestive health — many more probiotics than even yogurt or buttermilk! It's also a great dairy-free alternative to milk kefir.
  • VERSATILE: Kefir can be consumed plain, flavored in a second fermentation, used in place of whey for lacto-fermenting vegetables, or used as an ingredient to make healthy snacks.
  • QUICK AND EASY: This low maintenance culture yields a quart of kefir every day! All you have to do is let grains sit in sugar water for 24-48 hours at room temperature.
  • 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.

Product Description

All for one, and kefir all!

What is kefir, exactly?

Kefir is a fermented probiotic beverage, traditionally made with kefir "grains," which are actually not grains at all—rather, these gelatinous blobs are a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast, also known as a SCOBY. The result is an effervescent beverage with a tangy flavor and consistency akin to sparkling water or other fizzy drinks.

The word kefir comes from the Turkish word keyif, meaning "feeling good"; aptly named for the short- and long-term benefits of consuming this enzyme-rich drink, from the ease of digestion to the strengthening of the immune system.

While milk kefir originated in the Caucasus mountains, water kefir likely started in Mexico. Water kefir grains, also called tibicos, form on the pads of the Opuntia cactus.

A beginner-friendly starter culture

If you're just getting started in the fermenting and culturing world, this is a good one to start with.

  • Grains arrive dehydrated, so you don't have to start right away and can go at your own pace.
  • Water kefir cultures at room temp (68-85°F), so you don't have to keep them heated.
  • Everything you need will already be lying around the house: a jar, a strainer, a coffee filter, and a rubber band.
  • Some cultures can take a week or even up to a month to culture; water kefir is ready in 24-48 hours.

Did someone say "infinite kefir"?

The gift that keeps on giving

Kefir starter grains are an heirloom culture, meaning you can reuse the grains over and over for as long as you want and essentially have a limitless supply of kefir!

Once a batch is done and the grains have been strained, you can plop them right into a fresh quart of sugar water and start a new batch. Finished kefir lasts up to 2-3 weeks in the fridge.

If you need a break, you can always keep the grains in the fridge for a nap (tucked in to some sugar water) or dry the grains for a hibernation.

  • NAP: Add grains to 1 quart sugar water (¼ cup sugar dissolved in quart of water), and put a tight lid on container. Grains will stay healthy in fridge for up to 3 weeks.
  • WAKING UP: Separate grains from storage liquid, add to fresh sugar water, and culture as usual. May take a few batches to return to normal.
  • HIBERNATION: Rinse thoroughly with filtered water; lay on unbleached parchment paper for 3-5 days at room temp. Place in airtight bag; store in fridge up to 6 months.
  • REHYDRATING: Follow same instructions as when you first activated them.

Enjoy all the health benefits water kefir has to offer

  • Much less sugar than regular soft drinks, as most of the sugar is consumed by the culture
  • Better source of probiotics and enzymes than even probiotic supplements
  • Aids digestive and immune systems
  • A great dairy-free alternative to milk kefir

Versatile and simple to make

Water kefir makes a tasty beverage to sip on, but it's also easy to flavor in a second ferment, which additionally gives it that extra bubbly consistency.

You can also use kefir as an ingredient in a wide array of recipes for a probiotic boost! (Note: Avoid heating kefir to preserve probiotics.)

shamrock water kefir shake

This refreshing shake is low on sugar and heavy on probiotics! While it's not too similar to the overly sweet commercial shake, you'll love the minty flavor.

Ingredients: 1 ½ cups water kefir | ½ cup coconut milk | ½ ripe medium avocado | 3 large kale leaves | ¼ tsp mint extract | 1-3 tsp honey, or to taste | 4 large ice cubes

  1. Combine water kefir, coconut milk, avocado, and kale in blender. Blend until smooth.
  2. Add mint, honey, and ice cubes and blend thoroughly.
  3. Taste and add more honey as desired for sweetness. Blend again until completely combined. Serve immediately.
