Milk Kefir grains are composed of probiotic bacteria and yeast held together in a polysaccharide matrix. Milk kefir grains ferment milk to produce a yogurt like beverage called Kefir. Kefir grains originated from the Northern Caucasus Mountains where they have been used for over a thousand years to produce this living culture from milk. Kefir grains unlock many nutrients in milk, increase their bioavailability and provide many health benefits. The culture will keep multiplying as long as you take care of it and it's only a one time purchase for a lifetime supply of probiotics. You will receive 1 generous teaspoon of dehydrated Milk kefir grains which will yield 1 Tablespoon of live active grains once re-hydrated. Our Milk kefir grains are cultured in Organic Whole Milk. We only use culture friendly utensils to grow our milk kefir grains like food grade plastic vessels, nylon strainers and glass jars. Metal utensils are never used to make our Kefir. We don't use a dehydrator to dry our milk kefir grains because we think most dehydrators provide excessive heat which might disturb the micro flora present in kefir grains. We let our grains dry in room temperature away from sunlight. Printed instructions for troubleshooting and activating dehydrated Milk kefir grains are included with every order. In addition we will provide e-mail support to answer any questions. Dehydrated milk kefir grains become active within 5-14 days. Dry kefir grains are ideal for back up storage and for long distance shipping.
