Product Description

All for one, and kefir all!

milk kefir

What is kefir, exactly?

Kefir is a fermented probiotic beverage, traditionally made with kefir "grains," which are actually live probiotic cultures. 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.

Milk kefir grains are grown from milk, and water kefir grains are derived from the cactus plant. This starter comes in the form of freeze-dried powder, and is able to culture both milk and water kefir, allowing you the chance to figure out what you like and dip your toe into the culturing process!

The easiest starter culture you'll ever use

Perfect for beginners

No re-hydrating, no daily feeding, no pH strips, no heat—simply mix starter into desired drink, cover, and let culture at room temp (72-74°F/22-23°C).

Additionally, this offers a lower level of commitment than heirloom kefir grains; you can choose to re-culture a few times, or just drink it all.

An amazing value

With this starter, you'll be able to culture at least 1 gallon of kefir, with the potential to re-culture up to another 7 gallons.

Even if you make no extra batches, you'll be spending the same amount on bottled kefir at the store, so with every extra batch you make, you'll be saving money!

Pro Tips!

  • For best results, start next batch as soon as previous batch is done.
  • Once you choose which ingredient to culture the kefir (e.g., milk), re-culture with same.
  • Kefir is done culturing when thick like heavy cream (dairy milk) or cloudy and less sweet (other).
  • Simply reserve ¼ cup of previous batch for each quart you wish to culture.
  • Finished kefir stays good in fridge for 2-3 weeks.

Unlike with grains, this powdered starter allows you to make kefir using just about any drink you desire:

milk kefir

Milk kefir

The traditional and most well-known form of kefir, this dairy drink is similar to a thin yogurt, but even easier to digest.

Water kefir

Because water doesn't naturally have sugar for the microorganisms to feed on, you have to add sugar before the starter. Not to worry, though—the sugar is for the culture, not for you.

bottles of juice kefir

Juice kefir

Not all fermented juice is wine! The natural sugars in juice provide ample food for the kefir starter to do what it needs to do and make a sort of sparkling juice with loads more benefits.

...and more!

You can also use this starter to culture plant based milks or even coconut water.

Enjoy all the health benefits kefir has to offer

Milk kefir

  • More probiotics than yogurt
  • Great source of calcium and vitamin K2, promoting strong bones
  • Easier to digest than most dairy products, due to probiotics and lower lactose content

Water kefir

  • Much less sugar than regular soft drinks, as most of the sugar is consumed by the culture
  • Good source of probiotics and enzymes
  • Aids digestive and immune systems

herbed soft kefir cheese

A great "whey" to use extra kefir or particularly strong-flavored kefir!

Ingredients: Milk kefir | Fresh or dried herbs, such as Herbs de Provence

  1. Pour the milk kefir into a bowl lined with butter muslin, a cotton bag, or tight-weave cloth.
  2. Gather up corners of cloth and hang above bowl or jar and drain for 6-8 hours, or until the desired thickness is achieved. Save the whey in a closed container in the refrigerator. (You can use it to ferment veggies, use as cooking liquid, make drinks, and many other things.)
  3. Mix herbs into the kefir cheese and refrigerate for 2+ hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Serve as a soft cheese spread on crackers or bread. Also makes a wonderful vegetable dip.

You can use your kefir to make a tasty spreadable cheese
