Milk Kefir Grains, Turkish Strain, Bulgaros, Pajaritos, Live Probiotic Starter.

I first ordered this product in August however the grains must have been a bad batch. Although they produced great kefir after initially reviving them, they soon dwindled and one day when I strained them, they had completely disappeared. (I personally think they sat in the hot mail box too long.) I contacted the company and they did send me a new batch right away. I again followed the directions that came with them and after dumping the first 3 batches, my grains are producing wonderful kefir. In fact in a short amount of time, they have grown from 8g to 30g, so I am able to share them with friends. My method: I pour 1 cup of milk in the grains in a glass jar with an oversized plastic lid (so as not to be air-tight) and set in the pantry. After about 24 hrs (normally the next morning), I add another cup of milk to the same jar and stir well, then let sit until the following morning. Then I strain the kefir into a clean jar and put in the fridge to chill and drink. I repeat the process by putting fresh milk on the grains. Every day I have a fresh cup of kefir to drink and share with my family. Excellent taste and health benefits. Thank you to the company for being accomodating - these grains are wonderful!!! I do not use metal utensils and I never rinse the grains!! I also use the same jar for a few round before switching out to clean. Hope this helps.

the kefir was one of the most expensive on amazon but it was not alive and it never grew after two weeks

This is the first time I've attempted to make my own Kefir! I received the Milk Kefir Turkish strain grains, a live probiotic starter, today, and I was happy with the nice way the grains were packaged. When I opened the small container with the grains, the aroma was delicious! I found the instructions very easy to follow, and hopefully I will be successful in this endeavour! I plan to do a follow-up review when I have delicious Kefir to drink and a good established culture. I'm updating this review to let you know that the grains arrived alive and already producing delicious Kefir! I'm sure that I'll have a good established culture for lots of home-made Kefir! Can't recommend highly enough!

This is the worst milk kefir. Milk kefir should look like the picture. What I got wasn't anything near that. I followed the instructions included that showed how to get your kefir to come alive again. It didn't work. Included in the product was a number to text and an email address to contact them if you weren't happy with the product, no one ever responded to me. I have made milk kefir before, so I do know how the process works. This product is severely messed up!

I regret not having written a review sooner. I bought this product and it lasted me a very long time. It arrived in excellent condition, but what I appreciated most about this seller was that they included a sheet with all the written instructions on how to prepare the product, along with their contact information if I had any problems or needed help. I loved that detail and am very grateful. I recommend this product and give this seller 5 stars.

I noticed from the beginning that the grains didn’t have a good consistency, unlike de other brand I used before. I did three primming batches as the directions on this product said. I got only three usable batches after that and each one left me with less and less grain. Today after my third batch I have no grain left. No refund so a waste of money.

Making justice, this is a good kefir. Day 1, 24-May-2023 It arrived in a vacuum sealed package, whole and live! I was surprised! I received like a 1 teaspoon of whole kefir ready to go. It seems that they shipped it frozen, great choice for protecting it, because it does arrive alive and well. This one will start producing kefir in a couple of days, will update. My Kefir background, About three years doing my own kefir. When I started my own batch back on September 2020, the one I got online arrived barely alive, carelessly packaged, and I had to resurrect it. Took like 2 weeks the resurrecting. It lasted until May 4th, 2023 when its bottle broke during moving. Again, this Simply Life Kefir is good kefir.

I don't give it five stars because the amount and size of grains was very small and it took some time to grow them, but the end result was very good.
