## Description

Product description Kefir dates back many centuries to the shepherds of the Caucasus mountains. They discovered that fresh milk carried in leather pouches would occasionally ferment into an effervescent beverage.In the Caucasian Mountains, legend has it that the resulting kefir "grains" (not a true grain-but a combined culture of yeast and bacteria) were a gift to the people from Mohammed, who instructed them on how to use the grains. Mohammed strictly forbade them from giving away the secret of kefir preparation to other people, or pass anyone kefir grains, because they would lose their "magic strength." This legend explains why kefir grains and the method for kefir preparation have been surrounded by mystery for so long. In fact, there is an incredible tale of intrigue starring a beautiful woman, Irina Sakharova, who stole the kefir grains from a prince for Russia, which is perhaps the only reason the world knows of kefir today. Ingredients Contains a blend of live active bacteria such as Lactococcus lactis ssp. Cremoris, Lactococcus lactis ssp.lactis, Lactococcus lactis ssp. Biovar diacetylactis, S. thermophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus kefir, Lactobacillus parakefir, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Kluyveromyces lactis.

Review: Highly recommended - The Kefir Starter Cultures (Pack of 12 Freeze-Dried Sachets) are an excellent choice for making homemade milk kefir. The results are consistently impressive, with a taste and texture that are perfectly balanced. I used these cultures with a 24-hour setting in an Instant Pot, followed by a 10-hour rest in the fridge before bottling. The kefir turned out creamy, tangy, and smooth—exactly as it should be. The process is straightforward, and the sachets make it easy to prepare small, fresh batches. Having switched to this brand after my previous one became unavailable, I’m pleased to say this is just as good, if not better. The quality and reliability of the cultures ensure I’ll be repurchasing these in the future.
Review: Good for coconut milk too - Pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to make kefir. First time I have made it - I used organic coconut milk: 2 cans, just under a litre, to one sachet of probiotic, put it in an ordinary Tupperware container (I know glass is best but had nothing the right size!), covered with a muslin cloth and elastic band and then left in warmish place in the kitchen. Less than 24 hours later, a really nice kefir, slightly tart taste, less sweet and cloying than straight coconut milk. Thinner than yoghurt, more of a drink. Good base for smoothies and so healthy! Very good website at 'Cultures for Health' from which you can download free e-books about kefir/yoghurt making, kombucha, vegetables etc. Lots of ideas about how to use the kefir such as cheese making and baking. These particular sachets are direct set starter culture, a fine powder. You can re-use by keeping a quarter cup of your first kefir and adding to a second batch but it seems you can only do this a few times. These are good for trying first to see if you like kefir and maybe for people who don't want to keep a batch of kefir on the go indefinitely. However, if you want to use kefir a lot you might prefer kefir grains, a living culture, which can be maintained theoretically forever by keeping it in milk. The grains (not literally grains, just have the appearance of) also have a wider range of probiotics and yeasts than direct set so are probably more beneficial.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to make kefir
*by C***W on 3 June 2017*

For my first foray into kefir making I bought both this (by Natural Probiotic Selection) and Milk Kefir Starter Cultures (by The Kefir Company). There are some clear differences between the culturing of the two and the consistency of the resulting kefir. The instructions with this product, given on the pack and the sachets, and also in documents accessed via an email sent to the buyer, are a little contradictory with each other, and make it sound rather more complicated than necessary. I did not boil the milk as instructed (surely this is only necessary if you were to use unpasturised milk, I reasoned). I did microwave the milk a little to warm it up to room temperature before mixing the powder. I did this with both products, using around a litre of organic milk with each in parfait jars, and left in a place where the temperature varied between 20-30 degrees. The TKC product was ready more quickly, in a bit more than 36 but certainly less than 48 hours, whereas this NPS product needed the full 48. The TKC product was more grainy and watery (though you can stir it to homogenise it a little, but this isn't overly successful) and the NPS is rather more uniform but sticky and gloopy. Reculturing in both cases requires saving around 3 tbsp of the product and adding up to a litre of milk again. This time the NPS product recultured far faster - the instructions speak of as little as 3-6 hours but that would probably be at the top of the temperature range, but for me it was around 9 or 10 hours, but a few more hours for the TKC - I didn't warm the milk after taking it out the fridge and temperatures this time probably didn't get above the low to mid twenties. For reculturing you really need to check on it every few hours to see how it is going. The NPS seemed even thicker this time round, and the TKC still a bit grainy and watery, but less so. In summary, both of these products are easy to make, but take different times and make different consistencies of kefir. If I were to choose one of the two products, I would certainly choose this NPS one because of the quicker reculturing time and the thick, uniform consistency, and also because you get 12 sachets for the price of 3 of the TKC one. I will probably keep buying both though for variation in the probiotics they contain.
