Milk Kefir Grains Starter, Bulgaros de Leche, Pajaritos de Leche, Turkish strain, Live Kefir Grains, Homemade Kefir Milk, 1 (tsp.) by Simple Life Probiotics & Wellness

Today is Tuesday, May 09, 2023. I ordered the live Turkish milk kefir grains on Sunday, May 07, 2020 and they arrived today as promised. I read some negative reviews regarding poor packing so I am going to describe exactly how I received my live kefir grains.The live kefir grains were in a tiny plastic jar with lid tightly and securely screwed on. The tiny jar was placed in a vacuum sealed plastic bag and then placed in a zip lock bag.A green paper with simple instructions in a larger, easy to read font was enclosed in the zip lock bag.In it's own, separate bag zip lock was a booster mix in a silver bag with a paper with simple, clear instructions simply folded around it. This was all placed in a bubble wrap lined plain manila envelope and then placed in a bubble wrap lined amazon delivery bag. I absolutely loved the care taken to make sure the grains arrived in a secure manner. There was no unnecessary tape or anything to make it difficult to open. I am an older lady with poor eyesight so I was thrilled to receive instructions in a larger, easy to read font. I was excited to be making kefir for the first time so I had my milk, jar, rubber band, paper towel and silicone spatula all ready. I cut open the vacuum sealed bag and removed the little kefir grain jar. The inside of the bag was slightly wet with a clear liquid but the lid on the jar was tightly screwed on. When I opened the jar there was a white creamy substance which I assume is the kefir grains.I couldn't find a non-metal utensil small enough to fit inside the tiny jar so tapped the container against my glass jar to get out as much as I could. I could see a few grains that I couldn't tap out so I finally wiped off the outside of the little kefir jar and lid and just dropped them both in my big glass jar. I want to make sure I get every possible grain! I poured in the booster mix, covered it all in 1 cup of milk and stirred with my silicone spatula per instructions. I placed a paper towel on top and secured it with a rubber band. I labeled the jar with the date and time and now I will wait to see what happens!Based on the packing, easy to read instructions and fast delivery I would recommend ordering from this company. I will write a follow up review to let you know how the kefir grains worked.

Estaba muy ilusionada con el productoPero no funcionó llegaron bien sellados , la cantidad muy chiquita , tenían color amarillentoTraté varios días cambiando de leche para poder salvarlos pero todo salió muy amargo y después no se veía nada de los búlgaros o kerifCreo que seguiré buscando en otros sitiosDefinitivamente no sirve para nada el producto el precio es una buena estafa !!!No creo que se gane una sola estrella

These kefir grains came in a small container with milk, so they were very much alive when I received them (despite the heat of summer). The seller put a small package in with the kefir that was, apparently, extra boost of food to help them recover from the trauma of shipment. BOY, did that help. After just 4 days the kefir is thick and delicious! The seller packaged them with care that they deserve being living creatures.These are the BEST kefir grains I have ever received through the mail. I highly recommend them!

These Kefir grains populated two cups of milk in three days. I separated the solids from the liquid and then strained the solids to filter out the grains. There were no grains to speak of. All of the starter grains were consumed in the fermentation process because the starting batch I was shipped was tiny. It was slightly under 10 gm. I hate giving this product a bad review because the grains were healthy, but the fact that the starting sample is so small, makes this product unusable.

I am enjoying the taste of kefir milk with just the second batch. I am no longer wondering about what the taste/smell will be like. I had purchased another highly rated brand and was so disappointed and had to discard after a few failed attempts. These Turkish grains are amazing. Just follow the directions and there is no leeriness or having to wonder what I did wrong as I did with the other brand. I find that it takes 2 days to get it just right; probably because of the temperature in my home. I am a repeat Amazon shopper and this is my first time writing a review; that’s how much I am thankful that I gave this a try.
