What Our Customers Are Saying
I couldn't believe it was going to be so easy, but it was. Threw out the first batch as they recommended, but the second batch was perfect and I've been re-using now 3 of the 7-10 times the directions say you can re-use, and that's worked as promised.
This product was perfect for a short-term kefir relationship. It was easy to use and produced strong results including lovely kefir cream cheese and resultant whey for fermenting vegetables. It provided all of the benefits of infinite-use grains without the commitment!
I received the cultures in a timely manner. They came with clear directions for making my own kefir and have worked very well. I'm on my 4th or 5th batch and they are still working for me. I highly recommend them!
This is amazing stuff! Super simple and makes very good tasting milk or water kefir overnight. I will definitely purchase again!
