They discovered that fresh milk carried in leather pouches would occasionally ferment into an effervescent beverage.In the Caucasian Mountains, legend has it that the resulting kefir "grains" (not a true grain but a combined culture of yeast and probiotic bacteria) were a gift to the people from Mohammed, who instructed them on how to use the grains. Mohammed strictly forbade them from giving away the secret of kefir preparation to other people, or pass anyone kefir grains, because they would lose their "magic strength This legend explains why kefir grains and the method for kefir preparation have been surrounded by mystery for so long. In fact, there is an incredible tale of intrigue starring a beautiful woman, Irina Sakharova, who stole the kefir grains from a prince of Russia, which is perhaps the only reason the world knows of kefir today. Review: Great product, comprehensive instructions - I bought this reluctantly, along with yoghurt starter from the same company, after months of difficulty sourcing a similar Canadian product I've been using for years. Glad I did. Not only is it less expensive, it works at least as well and the instructions are far better, including details on how to make subsequent batches from the original starter. Plus, it arrived quickly and with no fuss. Highly recommended. Review: Yummy! Excellent quality product. - These cultures have worked great so far. I have only needed to use one packet, since you can save some of the end product to start your next batch. Kudos to the manufacturer for also being clear in their instructions that you don't need to use a new sachet each time. As expected with any freeze dried culture, the second generation/use and on were more aggressive than the first use since they had been freeze dried but more than happy with how aggressive the cultures were right from the sachet. Very happy to see a nice mix of cultures instead of predominantly a single strain. ## Features - One sachet is enough to make 1 litre of thick creamy, extra mild in taste milk kefir and recultured many times - Can be set at room temperature. No need of specific appliances, yogurt makers etc. - Contains blend of live active bacteria like Lactococcus lactis ssp.cremoris, Lactococcus lactis ssp. Lactis, Lactococcus lactis ssp. Lactis biovar diacetylactis, S. thermophilus, Lactobacillus kefir, Lactobacillus parakefir, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Kluyveromyces lactis. - Pure bacterial blend of cultures made in laboratory environment away from additives, maltodextrin, gluten and GMO.

This is a dried powder that you add to milk to reconstitute and grow it. A small amount from each package can be reused a few times to make more, but after ~3 times (per package), it becomes much less effective. It is not the same as a live culture that comes shipped with a small amount of fluid in it to keep it from drying out. Also, the powdered kefir does not contain near as many different species of bacteria as the live cultures do, but they are still better for you than regular yogurt. **Q: Can I stir into milk and leave on counter?** A: I have had great success by using the following method: Heat a quart of milk until it just begins to boil (to kill off any competing bacteria), turn off and let it cool to just above room temperature (about 90 degF). Then add the culture, stir well and allow to sit covered with a cloth or paper coffee filter (to keep out dust, etc., for several hours or overnight. Refrigerate after it becomes thick and bubbly. I started my culture using one packet a year ago. By saving about 1/4 cup from each batch and add it to the new batch. This culture is much more convenient than straining out grains each day and the result is delicious. Highly recommended! **Q: how many grams or ounces is each of 3 kefir?** A: 1 sachet makes 1 Litre of Kefir and then you can reculture more batches using every single spoon from the first batch. The net amount of starter in the sachet is written on the back of the sachet, so please just check the relevant image :) **Q: I'm new to Kefir making. Does this contain the 'grains' needed or just probiotics? Thank you.** A: Hello The starter is a freeze-dried type and contains a blend of freeze-dried bacteria and yeast.

Glad I did. Not only is it less expensive, it works at least as well and the instructions are far better, including details on how to make subsequent batches from the original starter. Plus, it arrived quickly and with no fuss. Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yummy! Excellent quality product. *by J***M on 24 May 2020* These cultures have worked great so far. I have only needed to use one packet, since you can save some of the end product to start your next batch. Kudos to the manufacturer for also being clear in their instructions that you don't need to use a new sachet each time. As expected with any freeze dried culture, the second generation/use and on were more aggressive than the first use since they had been freeze dried but more than happy with how aggressive the cultures were right from the sachet. Very happy to see a nice mix of cultures instead of predominantly a single strain. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Not terrible, but there are better products out there. *by D***A on 8 November 2021* Maybe it's just my personal preference, but I found the texture of this kefir a bit strange. It felt kinda sticky, not something I've seen before. Also, I don't understand why the instructions require boiling milk and then cooling it. The milk is already pasteurized. I was able to use cold milk for other producers' cultures, which is a lot more convenient. Also, you are able to re-batch the cultures only a few times. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kefir Starter Cultures - Pack of Freeze-Dried Culture Sachets For Creamy and Mild Milk Kefir (12 sachets) - Masontops kefir lid mason jar lids wide mouth mason jar lids living culture grain drainer starter kit for home fermentation 2 packs - Kefir Starter Culture - Pack of 12 Freeze Dried Sachets (12) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/601589135-natural-probiotic-selection-kefir-starter-cultures-pack-of-freeze-dried](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/601589135-natural-probiotic-selection-kefir-starter-cultures-pack-of-freeze-dried) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-08*
