Kefir Culture Kit:Can make Kefir from Milk, Goats Milk, Coconut Milk, Soya Milk and Almond Milk (Non Dairy usually takes a little longer to turn to Kefir)
Our Kefir Culture Kit contains live kefir lactobacillus powder and will make around 42 litres of delicious tasting Kefir.

Out of all the kits tested, this one produces the best tasting Kefir I have tried.
(This version tastes like the first Kefir I ever tried in a Kurdish restaurant. Some other kits that were tested tasted like plasterboard dissolved in water and were only good for making a kefir type of cottage cheese).

Kefir is a natural probiotic. It contains live active cultures of normal flora that will actually repopulate your digestive tract and aid in digestion. Kefir is superior to yoghurt because yoghurt is made with transient, less potent bacteria. The bacteria in yoghurt will last a few days in the digestive tract, and you need to keep reintroducing them.

Kefir contains more organisms than yoghurt, and the "normal flora" in kefir is made of very strong strains of micro organisms (unlike yogurt) which will help to over take pathogenic organisms that have taken over. Kefir will repopulate the digestive tract with good organisms. We consider this the more natural way to add good bacteria to the digestive tract and feel these strains are superior to any capsules which might contain organisms that have been dried. The cultures on Kefir and active and growing when the enter your body. They thrive in dairy and use up the lactose and partially digest the proteins, making it a product that most people can ingest and will benefit from. Even people with milk sensitivities can usually drink kefir. These strong strains of digestive bacteria will also culture coconut water from young coconuts or any milk product.

In addition to repopulating the digestive tract, enzyme stores are added to in the body. Many people in the US currently take digestive enzymes.  They have been told they are not digesting their food properly, that their enzyme stores have run out, and they will have to take enzymes the rest of their life.  Unfortunately, their health care providers have missed something that Sally Fallon and the Weston A. Price people have come to realize: that  cultured foods will actually  add back enzyme stores into the enzyme banks of the body and aid the body in digesting other foods.  Kefir, cultured cream, buttermilk, cultured vegetables, etc all add predigested food full of vitamins and minerals, normal flora, and enzymes to the body.  I believe these are valuable foods, part of all good traditional diets, that have become lost in the society of today.  And I believe bringing them back is essential for optimal health.

Some people have remarked upon how 'relaxed' they feel after drinking Kefir. we believe this is due to the abundance of the essential amino acid Trptophan, which has a relaxing effect on the nervous system, this makes it a great bed time drink for those who have sleep problems.

Kefir also has an abundance of calcium, magnesium and is a wonderful source of B Vitamins such as B12, B1, Biotin and Vitamin K.

Often people who are lactose intolerant can digest Kefir or can make kefir with coconut milk.

Kefir contains beneficial bacteria and beneficial yeasts. These beneficial yeasts destroy pathogenic yeasts in the system and are well tolerated by people with a yeast intolerance.

It is thought that the regular use of kefir can help relieve intestinal disorders and return the digestive system to health. It is also said to help eliminate unhealthy food cravings again by balancing the digestive system and by its supply of vitamins and minerals.
  

Each sachet in our starter pack will make one litre of Kefir. You can then use 200ml of this first litre to start your next batch. You can do this seven times before you will need to start a new culture. Our starter pack should be enough for around 40 litres of Kefir.

Refrigerate the sachets on receipt, the sachets will stay active for a year refrigerates or a couple of months unrefrigerated.
