Milk Kefir Grains Live Raw Organic Probiotics BULGAROS

Recently, I embarked on a quest to enrich my diet with homemade probiotics, starting with yogurt crafted from the L. Routeri culture. My curiosity didn't stop there; I wanted to delve deeper into the world of fermented beverages, specifically kefir, without the added sugars found in commercial options. That's when I discovered these Natural Home Remedies Milk Kefir Grains, a treasure trove of live, raw, organic probiotics, also known as BULGAROS. Upon arrival, I was immediately impressed by the condition of the grains. They were vibrant and active, promising a successful fermentation process. The package contained an ample amount of grains, ensuring that I could start my kefir-making journey without delay. What stood out to me, aside from the quality of the grains, was the inclusion of detailed instructions. These guidelines were clear and concise, making the process of creating my own kefir at home not just possible but enjoyable. It was reassuring to have such a well-outlined roadmap, especially for someone exploring this method for the first time. The result? A delicious, nourishing kefir that surpassed my expectations. It's been a transformative addition to my diet, offering a daily dose of beneficial probiotics without the unwanted sugar. These milk kefir grains have not only allowed me to experiment with and enjoy my own kefir but have also opened the door to a more natural, healthful way of living. For anyone looking to explore the wonders of homemade kefir, I highly recommend starting with these organic grains. Your gut (and taste buds) will thank you.

I ordered this product toward the end of Sept. They came quickly, no problem there. They are the smallest grains I have ever purchased. I sometimes travel for months at a time, so I have ordered grains a few times over the years, never really a problem before. I did 9 batches with these grains. Every batch turned out the same, it separated which is nothing strange, the strange part was no matter what I did it would not mix back together for more than a few minutes. Even tasting it during those few minutes it never had a kefir taste what so ever, it was like drinking water mixed with chalk, it was not good. I forgot where I ordered it from plus computer problems so when I found where I ordered it from believe it or not one day late for a return, as I write this I am only 2 days late. I understand a time period for returns so I don't blame them for that but I decided to do this review not because of not getting my money back or product replaced, that is my fault not theirs. But I feel that people should know the problems I have had with this product before they purchase. I have never had a problem like this with any other grains I have ever ordered over the years, including a couple of other places on this site.

Followed the instructions. Everything works. Very tasty kefir. I've done a few batches and it is thick and having a great flavor. My kitchen is pretty warm and it is turning quickly, and I am very happy with that. The grains started to grow and I increased the milk a bit. Can't wait to have more, and also to make some kefir cheese. I used organic milk and I was afraid would not work because what I find here is ultra pasteurized, but it works. So I am very happy. The kefir that I find and used to buy in the stores it's expensive, tastes more sour, and has tapioca starch added to it :( . With this, I have way better quality kefir with virtually no work.

These milk kefir grains are no good. I have made kefir many times; never having any trouble before. These were very tiny, very weak. After 3 days, I strained the mixture and the grains had not grown at all. I have tried 3 other times. None of them did anything but separate and no growth in the grains. Very poor quality!

I received about a tablespoonful of smallish grains in a kefir milk in a double baggie, and immediately added it to a cup of whole milk (just the cheapest milk from the grocery). There were no big chunks in there like you see in the pic- what I received was fairly runny with particles of kefir no bigger than grains of coarse sand. Still, I have a heating pad and temp controller set up for my kombucha, so I placed my starter milk and kefir mix on the heat pad (set at a constant 78-80 F degrees) in a glass jar w a coffee filter/rubberband cover. Overnight, maybe 12 hours? the new milk had already thickened and became "overdone," separating into whey. I strained the grains and kept them in about a big tablespoon of the thick liquid remaining in my very fine sieve, and added 2 cups of milk, and back on the pad. in about 12 hours again, even more kefir. I did this for about a week, w 2 cups of milk each time, and ended up with two larger chunks of kefir grains, each about the size of a large pea. I was very happy and gave one of the peas to my mom. I'm glad I did, because I was overrun w Kefir by then, and put my grains in the fridge (in new milk) for about a week to take a break. When i re-started tho, the quality of the kefir did not get back to what I had built up to, and the kefir was runnier and less creamy. I was able to get a batch of starter again from my mom (who had extra peas by then) and i'm back in business. I don't use the heating pad anymore, because I have too much kefir. I place it in a cooler place in my kitchen near the window, and can almost make it for 24 hrs now w/o separation into whey. Bottom line, this stuff didn't look like much when I got it, but it was strong. I'm not going to be refrigerating anymore tho!

On arrival the grains I received did not look like the plump, jelly, glistening, ivory colored mature grains shown in the photo. They had a distinctly yellow cast with a matte (not glistening) appearance, very firm (not rubbery) texture. I've been trying to make kefir for a week now and have waisted too much milk waiting for the right consistency of kefir using these crumbs. The grains still smell like yeast. I'd like to get really ripe grains like in the photo.

Good kick-off directions come with these Kefir grains .. follow them for a good outcome. It took a few days for the grains to reconstitute, but now they’re rolling. I blended my first bit of Kefir with some honeyberries (similar to wild blueberries) and a bit of honey. So good! I stuck with 1 c of whole milk and every 24 hours I drained the grains and put them in a clean jar with a fresh cup of milk. It’s colder in Alaska so you might have a faster turn-around. Bottomline, you can trust this small company. They ship out viable Kefir grains and it’s obvious that they care about quality & customer satusfaction. Be ready to go once you receive notification that the grains are en route. I picked them up from the post office (because .. Alaska) and pretty much got the ball rolling as soon as I got home. It’s not time consuming and if you follow the directions sent with the grains, you’ll be good to go.

They shouldnt buy this product it is not working and it is waste of money and time. They should be out of Amazon list they making Amazon look bad.
