® 10g UKAS LAB Tested Large portion of Certified Organic Kefir Grains for Goats milk, Coconut, Oats, Hazelnut, Soy and other non dairy by Kombuchaorganic®

Excellent quality grains now happily fermenting a litre of milk every 24-36hrs - came very carefully packaged with a detailed set of instructions (a few very helpful tidbits for newcomers to homemade kefir). Finished kefir initially smelt yeasty with understated sour tones, but a week later appears to be stabilising quite nicely - needless to say the grains themselves are growing aggressively and managed to fully separate my last litre of milk in ~24hrs @ 20C producing a perfect sour, effervescent batch with only a mild yeasty smell. This is all using supermarket bought, pasteurised and homogenised semi-skimmed milk - the kefir is expectedly thin, but I intend to add some whole organic milk to the next batch as a little treat for the grains. After perusing the other Kombuchaorganic products available, I will definitely be making a return to this vendor in future - you have secured a loyal customer with this product, thank you.

Swift dispatch and delivery (arrived 2 days before the start of the indicative delivery period)! This is in contrast to a competitor, who advertised a faster delivery, but whose product never arrived... The sachet looked quite unassuming, and appeared almost completely liquid with no large clumps of grains. However, it did not put me off and I followed the attached instructions of putting all the contents of the sachet in. I kept it in 250 ml of milk for the first 48h (as there was little change after 24h), and subsequently gradually reduced the interval to changing milk every 24h. I tasted and drunk all the batches of kefir - as expected, the first batch or two were a little thin, but they soon became really kefir like. My advice would be to really carefully strain the grains, especially at the beginning - I use a relatively fine mesh on a daily basis and only a coarse one when I feel the grains have multiplied (and they really did!). They are now much chunkier too. The photo shows the amount of grains after 10 days from starting (on my 'coarse' sieve). I also felt that giving the kefir a swirl halfway through the cycle can speed things up. I have used secondary fermentation (in the fridge, after straining the grains) to produce cinnamon, berry and prune flavoured kefir - really tasty! I have also made one batch i of faresh cheese (from the slightly over-fermented batch on the other photo), though not sure if it's worth the extra added effort (however it did taste very good) - the flavoured drinking kefir will definitely remain my staple though! It's a fun activity and you get a real quality product. Would definitely recommend!

The kefir grains arrived in perfect condition and made a nice amount of kefir on the first try. The grains grew way more than I expected and even after just fermenting one lot of milk, I'm already wondering how long it will be before I have to work out what to do with the excess. This is my very first time fermenting or even trying kefir and I'm happy to say that the experience has been a very positive one.

Never written a review before but don't buy from these guys, they don't work. The ones I have received are tiny and not viable, the response from seller was abrupt and unhelpful with no offer of sending new grains or offering a refund.

I don’t usually review on Amazon as I buy so much it would take too much time! These grains are amazing - I have had them around 5 days and they have already grown probably by around 30%. I am using semi skimmed milk and the grains make a lovely, tangy and slightly fizzy kefir within 24 hours, that I have been drinking and putting in overnight oats and coffee. It’s almost too good as I can’t keep up with them! Would definitely buy again!

Big fan of the walthrough sheet included, definitely a good sign from a conscientous company. Thank you kindly.

Not whole kefir grains they were cut up and never resumed a fully round grain shape although they functioned for a while they were not robust

My grains took a while to really get going, but now there’s no stopping them. The grains come with helpful instructions on how to look after them and to make Kefir. I’m so pleased with them. I’ve learned about 2nd Fermenting Kefir by straining off the grains, then put the kefir milk in a jar with a small piece of fruit or orange peel. Leave on the counter for an hour and then put in the fridge. The milk becomes thick and creamy and not so tart.
