I'm told the starter only contains 7-9 strains of beneficial yeast vs. the 56 strains in regular grains.** A: These are real grains. I received mine during summer via USPS and they were warm so I kept them in the refrigerator for 5 days and then started the activation procedure as directed (using store pasteurized whole milk for 1st four batches) and now make a quart every-other day now. I get raw milk to use and let stand in glass Ball quart jars with cheesecloth or linen caps held on with rubber bands. Mine set for @ 24 hours when kitchen cabinet is above 75 degree F, and up to 36 hours from 65 -75 degrees. When the whey separates out (semi-milky liquid) to the bottom; which, can be stirred back into the kifer, at this point I cut back the time by 2-4 hours. To get a thicker cream I let set for 12 - 24 hours in cabinet (out-of-sunlight) to pour over frozen fruit with a drizzle of honey/maple syrup, it's better than ice cream! Use cream kefir for smoothies (milkshake style), scrambled eggs, oatmeal (hot) cereal etc.. Regular kefir I refrigerate after separating out grains for drinking (w/honey or maple syrup), cold cereals, regular smoothies, cooking & baking (for baking increase by 25% for milk amount with organic whole wheat) but watch during cooking time and adjust baking times accordingly. My last A1c test for diabetes was normal for the first time in 10 yrs with medication reduction and my obese son has lost 60 lbs in less than 1 yr with diet change w/exercise routine. I also make kefir cream cheese dips(s), cheddar cheese and trying other foods with kefir. Recipes included via email are what I primarily use as my guide. **Q: what is the guarantee** A: That they will be alive and well when you receive them. If they fail to revive we will send you a new order for free. **Q: Is the seller's facility subject to government health inspection? How do I know these grains are handled with clean hands and sterile equipment?** A: Yes by law we are subject to health inspections, and I assume most other sellers fly under the radar and get away with not filing for a permit but we have a Food Manufacturers permit from the state of Texas. **Q: What is the shelf life of the package? In other words, how much time do I have, after the package arrives, before the grains need to be revived?** A: We have experienced the grains lasting up to 8 weeks in the postal system, however this may not always be the case. Our guarantee also only applies if the grains are revive when you receive the grains. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Franken grains! Great product *by on Reviewed in the United States August 31, 2020* This product was recommended to me by a friend who started drinking kefir after hearing a local doctor sing its praises as a preventative measure for COVID. I had been drinking Trader Joe's Kefir for years, but the nearest store is an hour away, and with the pandemic the drive just isn't possible. So, after hearing how much he liked these, I gave them a try. In a word: Awesome.REVIVING THE GRAINSThe grains arrived promptly, well packaged and protected from leaking during transport. I had read many reviews saying to quickly get them in milk, so I did so. Make sure you read the directions enclosed. They are thorough and following them will ensure that your grains revive and start producing great kefir. Particularly, letting them go for 36 hours on the first two go-rounds seems important – this allows the bacteria/yeast ratio to balance out. I was impatient and didn’t let it go long enough the first time, and the yeast was just overwhelming. Allowing the next batch to ferment longer eliminated the imbalance and left a pleasing, mild yeasty aroma. If the whey is separating, that's the time to move forward, but the first two seem to take a bit longer than subsequent batches as the grains recover from their travels through the postal system.TASTEThis is NOT grocery store kefir! The results are a bit yeasty, pleasantly sour and (this was a surprise to my wife and myself) effervescent. Grocery store kefirs are not effervescent (apparently) because the containers would explode. To prevent this, it seems that only a fraction of the good bacteria and yeast are actually present in commercial kefirs. Be prepared for a tremendously different taste experience.We found the first fermentation thin, so I quickly started doing a second ferment on all batches made for drinking. Adding a SMALL amount of “pre-biotic” (a couple of berries or other source of sugar for the second ferment) will add a LOT of flavor. Lemon peel (I only used the peel, since it’s quite strong) or a slice or two of an orange adds a really nice flavor. Whatever you add – especially strawberries or other fruits – strain before storing. The acid in the kefir quickly works to degrade the fruit, leaving an unpleasant texture. Add fruit when drinking later, but I would definitely not recommend leaving it in after the second ferment is accomplished. Be careful with vanilla extract, etc. It does not take much to be too much.GRAIN GROWTHThese rascals are healthy! These added grains so fast that after two weeks I was having to make a half gallon each day just to keep up. In my research, I read that you can take extra grains and “rest them” so you don’t have to keep using all of them. Also mentioned was the need to keep them active for 4 weeks at first to keep them healthy while they rest. Since a half gallon is more than we can consume just drinking, I used this extra kefir to make cream cheese – super simple with a strainer and a couple of coffee filters. Excellent cheese and as fresh as it gets.After getting to nearly three Tbsp of grains, I split the kefir grains and used 1 Tbsp to continue making a reduced quantity of kefir daily (1 Tbsp for a quart, which we can keep up with) and the rest to experiment with half and half instead of whole milk. This produces something closer to sour cream. I made a batch, strained out the grains, and they are now resting in the refrigerator.Highly recommend this product – it’s hard to believe that we can now enjoy fresh and healthy kefir forever at the cost of milk. I visited our local health food store and they wanted $6.95 for a quart.As a final note, I purchased some freeze-dried kefir packets from another vendor – they produced a tasty product, but not in the same universe as the results of these wonderful grains.Thanks to Fusion Teas for a great, reasonably priced product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good grains *by on Reviewed in the United States January 29, 2014* Well, the grains came in a sealed foil pouch inside a protective package. Bear in mind I am a complete amateur at this Kefir stuff. But...all went well.I let them recover in two consecutive batches of milk (1 pint each time) before attempting to make Kefir to drink. The grains were healthy and I probably could have started making Kefir to drink on the second batch, but I wanted to be careful. So those first two batches went down the sink. Again, just to be sure.The third batch came out very well. I tasted plain before blending the kefir with berries, as I usually drink them. Since then, I have made over a dozen batches and the grains grow so fast I must have over a cup of them in a couple months time. I have to throw away some periodically as I will have too many for the 1 Qt. of milk I ferment at a time.The Kefir produced is not quite as thick as I hoped. Nor does it make Kefir quite as tasty as the store-bought Lifeway type. However, I suspect that kind of Kefir is more like a yogurt. Otherwise, I have no complaints. When I want to slow them down, I put the next batch in the fridge for a few days. It is easy to pick up production again just by taking them out.I even made some Kefir cheese that tasted pretty good.The digestive benefits were also very significant. When I drink this regularly, I have far less issues than when I don't. I just wished I liked milk products more than I do. It usually doesn't stick around too long though -- my whole family is now drinking the stuff when I make it. I make it with regular store-brand Whole Milk or 2%. The grains do not seem to care and thrive in both.I recommend this supplier. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The BEST way to make homemade Kefir. *by on Reviewed in the United States April 30, 2015* 2TBSP Active Organic Milk Kefir Grains are far superior to freeze dried Kefir Cultures. Having used freeze dried cultures for years, I decided to try these. I only took two days to fully activate these grains and I have produced the best Kefir I've ever made. Not to mention that I no longer have to heat up milk for the freeze dried cultures - and let the milk cool down to a specific temperature (a VERY time consuming task), I can add these grains to cold milk if I like, although room temperature milk is best.According to the seller, the Kefir grains have 28 strains of the good bacteria and freeze dried and store bought Kefir only have 10 strains. The shelf life of kefir made from grains is approximately two weeks - which is why store bought (and freeze dried cultures) have 10 strains of good bacteria in order to prolong shelf life.Keeping the milk with the Kefir grains as close to 77 degrees F (the optimum temperature to produce good bacteria) makes for a great tasting Kefir and a growth of the original grains. I purchased 2 Tablespoons of the Kefir grains and in one month's time, the grains grew enough to fill one-half of a pint jar. Follow the instructions and contact the seller if you have questions or problems and you can't go wrong.Since drinking Kefir made with the Grains, I have noticed several improvements in health benefits. No doubt the 28 good strains of good bacteria verses 10 good strains of good bacteria DO make a positive difference! This along without having to heat milk anymore and letting it cool to a specific temperature has saved me MANY HOURS in the making of a better Kefir. I cannot recommend highly enough buying Kefir Grains - especially from this seller! It will save you time, money and produce the best Kefir that can be had - bar none. A quart of store bought Kefir costs me $4.99. A quart of my homemade Kefir made with the Grains costs me $0.65 - depending on the cost of a gallon of milk and not including my minimal labor AND has 18 more types of good bacteria (28 total vs.10). I'm in Kefir heaven! ## Frequently Bought Together - 2 TBSP Milk Kefir Grains and ebook “Milk Kefir Unleashed by Thomas Egbert” - Fresh Live Active Probiotic Starter Cultures - Masontops kefir lid mason jar lids wide mouth mason jar lids living culture grain drainer starter kit for home fermentation 2 packs - HIC Kitchen Double-Ear Fine Mesh Strainer, BPA Free, 4-Inch Diameter --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/2601106-2-tbsp-milk-kefir-grains-fresh-probiotic-starter-culture-fusion](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/2601106-2-tbsp-milk-kefir-grains-fresh-probiotic-starter-culture-fusion) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-01*
