The Spirit of the Forest Freeze Dried Milk Kefir Starter Culture Starter Powder Probiotic for Bubbly Drinks, No Maintenance Leche de Búlgaros Polvo Non-GMO Freeze Re-Culture Kefir Probiotic (24 Pack - 24L)

This is my first time making dairy kefir, but I have been fermenting water kefir, kombucha, yogurt, as well as many types of veggies, nuts, etc…. I was impressed by how quickly the culture grew and how amazing it tasted! I will never make yogurt again!🤣 I split one packet between two jars that held a little less milk than recommended… you can see in one of the pictures where the kefir SCOBY grew all the way up to the lid! It works great with coconut milk too! I let the fermentation go for longer than recommended for a stronger flavor and balanced it out with a little cane sugar before drinking…. AMAZING. It is so good on its own… but I can’t wait to try it in recipes… maybe even a more nutritional yogurt! There was enough culture growth to split between a few new jars and start growing more!

Don’t buy this item. It’s doesn’t have not kefir grains ready to use. On the pictures. So it’s false advertising and I received an instruction sheet which clearly states no kefir grains. They should have added that sheet as a what is included so people will know you’re not getting kefir grain. Also, you can’t return this item, so don’t purchase it..

It works as described. I have been drinking kifir thanks to this starter.

Very different from another kefir products that I have tried. It has a very cheese smell that almost tells me that is off. Maybe I did get a bad batch? I will not recommend this product.

Easy to make, good quality and good flavor!

nice

I used fresh milk, expensive grassfed milk. I wasted a quart of milk on this product. I made it as directed and left it for over 48 hrs and nothing happened except the milk smelled bad after a day. Don't waste your money on this.

I buy kefir often because of it's nutritional benefits so I was excited to try this because I always think something homemade turns out better than a commercial massed produced product. This is true with this kefir. The base (whole milk) is easy to find at any store, transferring it to a glass jar, and then adding the starter - it's so easy and fun to watch it change and grow to fruition. Each package comes with 6 packets, but it also says that the culture can be reusable 2-7 times, making it much more affordable. I love fermenting my own foods because I can control the ingredients and change it up, as I feel like it - and this is so easy. I highly recommend this product.
