The perfect amount for my needs.
This starter is perfect for my kefir needs. I get 7-8 quarts per package which lasts me about 6-8 weeks. I'm afraid grains would make way more kefir than I could use. This gives me just enough. The best part is it has never failed. No starting the grains and wasting the milk to get it started.Nice and tangy, perfect smell for kefir and always fresh. Economical too!

kefir cultures
Followed instructions exactly. Product did not work. emailed the company and was sent back a foot long email that did not even address what I emailed them about. They have no phone #. Customer service is at their mercy. I believe I was sent dead cultures but since I already used (wasted) one of the packets I am just out of my money. If you plan on making kefir go to a local store to get your starter cultures.

Highly recommend this Kefir starter
I’ve bought these a few times over the years and they make Kefir so easily. I even had a package that had expired by 1 year and it still worked perfectly. I’ve used these starter packs with many types os milk and cream (pasteurized, raw, and coconut milk) and it work perfect every time. This is the best kefir starter I’ve found

Pricey but did the job...
I recently purchased the Cultures for Health Kefir Starter Culture, and while the product itself delivered good results, I couldn't help but feel that it was a little pricey for what it offered. The package contained a small amount of kefir starter culture, and considering the cost, I expected a more generous quantity.Another aspect that left me somewhat disappointed was the instructions provided. As a first-time kefir maker, I was hoping for clear and detailed guidance on the preparation process, but the instructions seemed somewhat vague and lacking in crucial information. I had to search for additional resources online to understand the proper steps fully.That said, the kefir starter culture did work as promised, and my kefir turned out delicious and healthy. The cultures seemed to be of good quality, and they produced a creamy and tangy kefir drink that I enjoyed thoroughly. The taste and benefits were there, but I just wished for a smoother experience in the preparation phase.In the future, I might explore other kefir starter options that offer more value for the price and come with more comprehensive instructions, especially for beginners. While the Cultures for Health Kefir Starter Culture does the job, I feel there are better alternatives available that strike a better balance between cost and quantity while providing clearer guidance for users.

I've used this brand before and am completely satisfied with the performance of the cultures.
I used one package in about a half cup of pre-"warmed"/uncooled milk (did it in the microwave to knock the chill off) and left it set for over 24 going on 36 hours in a spot on the counter next to the fridge where the temperature is just right. Once it began to be about the consistency of cream, I added more prewarmed milk to around a cup total, stirred and left it overnight. Once ready, I gave the first batch to the dogs, leaving around a quarter cup from the bottom in my culturing jar (I use a dedicated jar, dedicated strainer, dedicated spoon to stir and strain) and added another cup of prewarmed milk. Next morning strained out the developing grains, again leaving more in the bottom and carried on. Good stuff.Because it's powder and not grains, I didn't expect to cultivate grains right off (or at all?), which is why I left a good amount in the bottom rather than straining out all the way to the grains. Once I have a good supply going, I'll rinse some out with milk and dry in the freezer for reserves. I had used up and finally messed up the reserves I had from a 2016 starter, I think it was, that I've used all these years. They do well, travel well once dry, travel well as an active culture.Patience and understanding with your new pets.

sometimes it doesn't work
when it works it's great and very easy. but usually only 3 of the packets work. I've bought it 2x now and so far there is always 1 packet that doesn't do anything and you have to use another one.tastes good though and the texture is just like store bought. wish all of the packers worked though.

So much easier than grains!
So much easier than grains! Took about 2-3 days to convert 32 Oz. Great flavor! And easily kept up with endless kefir. I take out 200g of milk from a half gallon container &put in 100g of previously made kefir in. 2 to 3 days on the counter & into the fridge after that. Super easy endless kefir. Never going back to grains. Wish I had bought this years ago.
