Milk Kefir Grains, Turkish Strain, Bulgaros, Pajaritos, Live Probiotic Starter.

I first ordered this product in August however the grains must have been a bad batch. Although they produced great kefir after initially reviving them, they soon dwindled and one day when I strained them, they had completely disappeared. (I personally think they sat in the hot mail box too long.)I contacted the company and they did send me a new batch right away. I again followed the directions that came with them and after dumping the first 3 batches, my grains are producing wonderful kefir. In fact in a short amount of time, they have grown from 8g to 30g, so I am able to share them with friends.My method: I pour 1 cup of milk in the grains in a glass jar with an oversized plastic lid (so as not to be air-tight) and set in the pantry. After about 24 hrs (normally the next morning), I add another cup of milk to the same jar and stir well, then let sit until the following morning. Then I strain the kefir into a clean jar and put in the fridge to chill and drink. I repeat the process by putting fresh milk on the grains. Every day I have a fresh cup of kefir to drink and share with my family. Excellent taste and health benefits.Thank you to the company for being accomodating - these grains are wonderful!!!I do not use metal utensils and I never rinse the grains!! I also use the same jar for a few round before switching out to clean. Hope this helps.

after 2 days doesnt seem to be growing , still waiting

Great stuff indeed, I am tryjng to make tvorog regularly. It helps to hide it from cats - I bought it for the second time, grew it bigger last time, left it in a cup on the kitchen counter for a second, came back and saw a happy cat finishing it lol Will make a new batch of farmers cheese again for my varenyky

I have followed the instructions on this to the letter. The only thing I got for my efforts is a cup of curdled milk. I was really hoping to have Kefir grains that I could use long term. So far I’ve had better luck with the kefir powder.

Don't be disappointed that the grains-clumps are tinier and smaller than what you might see in the (macro, of course) product picture (at least for this initial stage), the Kefir is creamy and tastes great. (you can, obviously, adjust the time, for more or less acidity/sour flavor). You'll be pleased! I'll see it on the long run, but I'm happy at this point. Thank you!

When my order arrived on Monday, the dry ice had melted and everything was hot. I wasn't hopeful, but quickly put what I hoped were living grains in cold, raw milk and waited.After 24hrs I stirred, put the coffee filter back on top, and waited. Day 2, because my house is warmer, I strained the milk and found even fewer grains than had arrived.Although I believed they wouldn't recover, I put them in a clean container with more raw milk and about 25% pasteurized goat milk. 24hrs later I stirred. Today, Friday, I found that the grains had survived, and now I've got about 1/4 cup of healthy grains !! I didn't taste the milk since it was almost all consumed so I divided the grains and put them in a mix of raw cow and pasteurized goat milks to ferment. I'm looking forward to drinking real kefir in the next few days.Thank you !

I noticed from the beginning that the grains didn’t have a good consistency, unlike de other brand I used before.I did three primming batches as the directions on this product said. I got only three usable batches after that and each one left me with less and less grain. Today after my third batch I have no grain left.No refund so a waste of money.

I bought I ounce, it was delivered in a very hot day, I followed the instructions and after 2 days I found not all survived. In the picture left side the aprox size of what survived the transportation and the total size is what I was able to grow in a month, I uploaded a pic of a teaspoon as a size reference for the other pictureI suggest to wash them with drinkable water when receive them and the follow the vendor instructions to avoid putting fermented milk in your first dayThe amount in the picture makes 1 cup of Bulgarian milk every other day, I like it acidic, the flavor is really goodI recommend to buy more that I ounce so you can enjoy it faster than the month it took meThanks
