Questions & Answers

Are there only bacteria in this blend, or are there also bacteria and yeast?

We make our Easy Kefir with real milk kefir grains, so the full range of bacteria and yeasts associated with original kefir grains can be found in it.

Once it has been made and placed in the refrigerator, how long will the kefir last?

In less than a week, I'll use it. Next time, also by the end of the week, save some for the next batch of cookies.

Is it okay to put this into a few cups of milk? A quart is called for in the directions. Google says a quart is four cups. However, I found that my mason jars only hold about 3 1/4 cups. ?

The starter will work just fine with a quart, or four cups, but will work better with between three and five

Are you able to use non-fat milk with this?

There is no doubt that it will work, but whole milk gives you the best results.

The food was absolutely delicious
5/5

This project is very easy to do and VERY inexpensive if done properly. It has always been my favorite drink since I tasted it for the first time. For years, I had bought the blue and white plastic quart bottles in the store, but realized I could get it at a cheaper price online. I can barely drink store-bought milk anymore since I began making my own Added things to the cart In comparison to the fresh, healthy taste of homemade, it has such a chemical taste. I get 80+ quarts of kefir from one 4-gallon batch of kefir, which may seem expensive, but I only need $20+ for all 4 quarts. The cost per quart is about 25 cents on top of the price of the milk in the box. Taking a cup of kefir from each batch I make with each new envelope, I divide it among 3 clean quart jars, fill them with milk, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. Hence, the first "generation" is just a quart of kefir, while the second and third are each three With each generation, I perform this task with the last jar. Seven envelopes make about one pound of ground beef Considering we have eight generations, so that would be 20+ quarts from each envelope, and There is even more to be gained if you do 4 jars instead of 3 It was too much of a hassle with my busy schedule to culture each jar instead of just the last one from each generation, etc. I tried making kefir with live grains, but it simply wasn't feasible in my busy schedule Taking care of kefir grains is like taking care of a pet, I've been told. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to do My Easy Kefir breaks down all of the work involved in live grains, allowing me to get most of the benefits without much effort. The process is so simple. This is a good deal. This is a good deal. I've never eaten anything like it!.

This is a wonderful product for those of us who are lactose intolerant
5/5

Soybeans and soy-based products I am intolerant of gluten, but I want fermented foods like kefir to maintain good The Easy Kefir Starter is what I use to create my own kefir with will need to add a Tablespoon. For the kefir to ferment, it needs sugar. There is a consistency similar to that.

Kiefer, now THAT'S what I mean! It is true that I ordered kiefer grains, but they never came out as smooth as this
5/5

In this case, I was expecting them to come with whole milk and knowledge from their The stuff that was strained was always like cottage cheese and did not contain pearled grains. The smell was a little yeasty as the forums predicted, though it was never a thick, pourable liquid like yoghurt. Since I was testing such a small amount of whole milk, I used about 2 tablespoons. With a 1/4 cup of these pseudo grains to 4 cups of whole milk, I was able to use a 1/4 cup. Choosing an 18-inch shoe was the right choice for me I culture my potatoes on my counter for 24 hours out of direct sunlight. There is always the same result Compare the grain of cottage cheese with that of pearl cauliflower. The forums said that they would appear soon once the situation settled down. For a few months now, I've been pampering the pseudo grains almost daily, drinking a lot of milk, and no grains have peatled. In view of the fact that I did not see any pearled grains in the delivery I received, I think there was something amiss from the beginning. In my review, I wanted to know if the product changed the result, and sure enough, it did!
Loving home cultured yoghurt, this product produces a thick liquid that is similar to yogurt. It tastes good and has a creamy consistency, but doesn't have a tangy quality. The consistency is similar to Occasionally, I add just under a tbsp of pure maple syrup to make it a little sweeter. I find it to be the perfect solution Adding kiefer to smoothies is one of my favorite things to do. In addition to this, because a 1/4 cup of the finished product can be used to culture more kiefer, the amount of kiefer I can obtain from one packet of freeze dried grains will be quite large. As I mentioned earlier, I'm going to keep this up until I can track down someone in my local area who would be willing to share or sell me some pearled grains. Kaiser is a delight to eat and is highly nutritious. It is my sincere hope that many people be exposed to its real benefits and include it in their diet on a regular basis. As someone who has been dealing with low energy, both mentally and physically for the last 8 years and so glad that it has helped me to feel good and be healthy, I am pleasantly surprised. Although it may not work for everyone, it is helping me and I am grateful as a result To the point that I feel I must have it every day. Mental illness is not something I can treat with medication. It's kiefer for me!.

Making kefir from milk is a great way to preserve it
5/5

Making kefir from milk is a great way to preserve it. My intention was to see if I could make kefir on a regular basis by using this product. This is an easy to make dish that tastes fantastic! After seeing how easy it was, I decided to buy kefir grains. There was no point in doing that. The work involved in growing grains is a lot greater! Because you have to feed them every day (milk) and they multiply rapidly, you can consider them a pet! Despite my rapid breathing, I returned to the Cutting Edge cultures and was able to catch my breath. There's no need to worry! It's just that I don't drink the last quarter cup of kefir because I make it It's that easy! Also, as for the taste, I believe this kefir is superior to store-bought.

5 years later, the service is still good
5/5

Since I made my first batch of kefir starter five years ago, I've loved this brand. In the beginning, I used the first two packets, but then I forgot all about them The antibiotics I had to take this week were my first in years. Trying to see if the culture would still be effective after five years is the only way I could get some probiotics into me. Despite being watery for 24 hours, the area was still wet If milk were solid, it would be like this It would be fine, if I could wait a little longer. Thankfully, the next day it was perfect. It had thickened up just The best part is that it is delicious as well! Comparing homemade kefir to the stuff you can buy in a store, I had forgotten how good it is. This is a really good recipe! I tried store brand kefir when I began taking the medicine, but I found it difficult to drink it. The only way to get it down was by adding a little honey. Kefirs like this are different from each other. Drinking it is a pleasant experience, and I look forward to.

This seems not to be a proper storage method! The shipment that I just received was DOA, which is my second shipment that has been DOA since last week
3/5

There are now a lot of dollars out of my pocket, and I will have to order from a reliable resource.

The situation is okay
3/5

Guam is far from the island's other islands, so it wasn't easy to find a vendor who would ship kefir grains there. This video shows how easy it is to make kefir from scratch, and the woman who teaches you how to do it also owns this brand. The kefir tastes really good, and it takes about 10 minutes to make The kefir, however, would stay thick and wouldn't separate. I couldn't get any kefir grains to grow. Apart from that, it has a great taste.

It is very easy to make I don't have any problems with it My experience with this packet was that I used it a lot and over and over again
5/5

Kefir is mentioned more than 7 times in various kefir posts I've seen. Nut milk kefir is great with this. Kefir is much cheaper to make than to purchase ready-made. Kefir grains are not immortal, unlike kefir grains There are only a finite number of uses for every packet, but for me personally, they saved me quite a bit It's easy to use as well.
