Live Kefir Grains Starter Culture for Homemade Milk, Bulgaros de Leche, Pajaritos de Leche (1 TBSP)

After doing research and reading reviews of multiple products, I was worried about receiving a dry and "dying" culture. It has been unseasonably cooler this spring, so the culture arrived moist and active. It didn't take long to start producing kefir. I did consume the activation ferments. The taste of homemade kefir is much better than store bought. It is also cost effective and healthier as there are no extra stabilizing ingredients. There is no need to buy specialty equipment. I just use a coffee filter over the top of a mason jar.It is so easy and simple to maintain the grains. I spend less than 10 minutes transferring and preparing the batches. The grains are also multiplying. There are significantly more now than I had when they arrived.I am looking forward to making my Lithuanian mushroom and yogurt soup with kefir.

This may be a premature review, and if so, I will update. Followed the instructions to a "T" After allowing the Kefir grains to culture for 24 hours when I strained as instructed, what I found in the bottom of the jar was a gooey slime. Again, following instructions I threw away the milk, cleaned the jar, got as much slime out of the strainer as I could and feed it more milk. I should add, the slime was very difficult to get out of the strainer, it was like two tablespoons of Elmer's Glue. I really hope that this works after a time or two of trying but I have my doubts due to the consistency of the grains; I HATE feeling ripped off!UPDATE: Batch #2 came out fine. I was too hasty; the Elmer's glue look that the grains took on at first made me think they didn't work, but they woke up!!Here's to health ;-)

Do you see how many I received? Nope! Because there’s nothing in here. Don’t waste your $12 on this. Very disappointed.I was hoping to make kefir with these but there’s only a teaspoon and they are so tiny. I would understand if the bulgaros were big and mature but they’re tiny babies.

Have been having fun with my kefir grains. It arrived in a package that had been vacuum sealed. When I opened the little container, the grain smells really great! Must have been from great quality dairy. I used grass fed milk/regular organic milk/reduced fat/full fat to make kefir (all very successful), I never got the same aroma of the grain so that’s why I said the dairy used for these grains had to be superb quality! Only wish was that the grains were bigger size. They are a bit small so it was a challenge as a beginner to filter them and not lose them at first but I think I got it. Hopefully mine will grow big. They are my babies now

Estos búlgaros fueron los que llegaban más rápido de todo amanzon, también son baratos. Son sencillos de manipular y dan un kefir delicioso de leche de cabra, suave y cremoso.

They are very good quality, they’re started fermentation right away. Happy with my purchase

Im very impressed with my culture. It came back to life right away. I discarded the first batch as suggested and it’s been going pretty strong since. I’ve had it for a month now.Thank you!
