Water Kefir Grains - Starter Cultures - Plain Bulgaros de Agua Vivos, No GMO, Caffeine-Free, Keto Friendly by The Spirit Of The Forest Contains 7.2 gr

These grains took a very, very long time to start working for me. I had experience fermenting years ago and just took it up again. I like a very fizzy water kefir so I knew what I was doing. I must’ve done 5 or 6 batches before these kicked in but when they did, they were amazing! Not only do I get very fizzy kefir on my second ferment now but they are doubling in size very rapidly. I originally thought they were not that good, but now I see they just needed more time to kick in. Really great kefir grains!!!

These worked immediately!I live in a warm dry climate and only had to ferment on the counter for 24 hours before the kefir tasted just right.I use simply watermelon juice and keep mine in a mason jar with a towel on top instead of in a corked bottle.Its been about a week and they look like they are already growing.Excellent starter grains!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I tried so hard to get these to work. I followed the instructions to a T. I used spring water literally followed the process step by step, and all that happened was the eater would smell like dirty feet. The grains got hard so I researched and added a touch of blackstrap molasses, it did not help. I then rinsed them as the instructions said and tried to give them a rest. They never snapped into action. I have given up and tossed them and probably going to donate all the supplies I got to do this. Frustrated, I am sure with all the positive reviews everyone will think it was me and that's ok because I sure have no clue I guess.

Always buy live active grains, not powder starter. Came as pictured and provide enough probiotic for one person. If cared for every day or two it growed to be enough to share with others within a few weeks.

I am giving this a five star because I think the problem with the fermentation was me. I could not tell if the little grains expanded or not. I have never used them before. I will probably try again.

Son buenos

The picture shows live grains, which I have bought in the past. But, these were dried grains. And, the instructions are in Spanish. I will see if it works.... I have used dried before and never got them fermenting. Don't buy they didn't work at all.

These are LIVE FRESH kefir grains people. Not dehydrated. I am familiar with water kefir and these were great healthy grains that survived shipment to Hawaii. They are replicating after 2nd time "brewing" them. So lucky to find these as its really hard to get the fresh ones shipped nowadays. Will buy more from them when I return to the mainland since I can't smuggle these home with me on the plane.
