Water Kefir Grains | Starter Cultures | Bulgaros de Agua Vivos, Naturally Dried Dormant for Safe Shipping Ready for Activation, No GMO, Caffeine-Free, Keto Friendly The Spirit Of The Forest 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!!!

I discovered water kefir when I got grains in the past from a friend and for 6 months enjoyed the creativity of flavors with double fermentations. So cool and so healthy for my family. A win for Mom's everywhere. I shared my probiotic pop/soda and flew to my folks in FL to get them started. They love it! BUT, this right here...no love for these duds. I wanted to start from scratch and gave plenty of tries. I followed the instructions and used the proper materials. After 3 weeks doing cycling of water and various healthy sugar sources to attempt to regenerate, this brand is poor quality, ineffective, and non-functioning, . I'm very disappointed. DO NOT PURCHASE! Send me your money if you want to throw it away. Lol

These little babies grew so fast that I finally had to slow down and put them in the fridge for a while. Fast growing, got super large. Love the directions that came in them. I’ve been making Kiefer for decades, and the directions say to put a bit of sugar and some Minerals into the water and to grow it that way then to add a secondary ferment to add flavor, never heard of that before. And it works like a charm. I just take out my mineral tablets and scrape some off into it and it ferments overnight. Highly recommend.

Hola compré este producto, Por qué anteriormente yo ya lo había usado en México, y ahí me regalaron un vaso lleno de kefir de agua y realmente me encantaron, se eeproducieron muy rápido, tomé a el agua cada 2 días me sirvió mucho para la flora intestinal ya no me inflamaba reguló mi tránsito intestinal, y ahora lo compré por Amazon, apenas lo compré y ya se están reproduciendo🤭 me encantan

It took a bit of time and patience for these to become active and strong enough to create water kefir, I finally got some water kefir out of them! I hope to give them a try with non dairy milk to make kefir.

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.

I’ve made water kefir for almost ten years. I taught classes on making fermented foods and drinks as part of my community college’s continuing education program. At one point, despite month-long vacations that necessitated freezing or refrigerating my kefir grains for 2-4 weeks at a time, I was not only able to use the same grains for three years, but also give them away when the grains multiplied in number that exceeded the needs of my family. This was the first time I ordered grains from The Spirit of the Forest Store, and I will never do so again. I’ve worked with the grains The Spirit of the Forest Store send me for the past 10 days trying to re-hydrate them and create conditions that I know they need to grow into healthy grains and subsequently to produce delicious water kefir. Not only have the se grains not grown as they should, they also produced such a foul smelling water kefir that I just poured the last batch down the drain as unsafe to even taste test. If Amazon had permitted me to rate The Spirit of the Forest Store's water kefir grains as a zero star product, I would have. The grains are obviously contaminated and should not be used by anyone.

Good
