Natural Probiotic Selection Kefir Starter Cultures - Pack of Freeze-Dried Culture Sachets For Creamy and Mild Milk Kefir (12 sachets)

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.

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.

I just started using this product and works fast and my kefir grains already growing and milk tastes really good, I recommend this brand and seller for this product!!! I used regular whole milk on the gallon and only brought the milk to a somewhat high temperature then let it sit or cool for about 15 min then pour it in a glass container then pour the culture stirred it and closed it put it in a warm spot let it sit for 36 hrs and then got my first batch, grains had already form so now am growing them and using daily!!

I've been making kefir at home for over 15 years, tried different brands of freeze-dried sachets and also grains. Never came across a product like this one. I opened 3 sachets out of the box and each time the same result - it turns the milk into this slimy, gooey thing, definitely not kefir. Don't waste your money.

I ordered it because i just wanted to try a small amount at a reasonable price. First batch made with Skim milk took 48 hours. It was kept warm with ie magic bags. I used glass jar and a coffee filter lid. Results mild and delicious- commercial products taste more like buttermilk which I also like. The next batch made from 2 tablespoons of the 1st was put in fridge by mistake for a couple of hours but recused heated up and was ready in just a few hours.
