Teresa: it sounds like you were given water kefir, not milk kefir. Milk kefir grains are different all together. You can make water kefir from milk kefir grains, but they will not last. Go to “Dom’s Kefir Site” for lots of info on kefir, water and milk.

I make both kefirs. Kefir cured my acid reflux, improved the texture and elastisity of my skin (I’m 53), makes my hair and nails grow very fast, and this is crazy – but I had a foot fungus that nothing cured until I started drinking kefir every day, about 3 cups a day. I also eat the grains! I make cheese and with the seperated whey, I wash my hair, make facial masks, use it to make bread, and make pasta with it, then boil in it. I LOVE kefir! But the biggest benefit has been gastronomically: even water gave me heartburn, it was torture.

Again, go to Dom’s Kefir Site for pages and pages of info, even scientific, about kefir. Enjoy!

I was given a start of Kefir in Molasses and water. It is not looking like it is growing very well, some are floating and it looks like some are breaking down. Can I put it in water with Maple syrup? and what is the ratio. I think it looks like I may have 1/2 to 3/4 Cup of Kefir grains.
Don’t want it to die….. help )
Thank you

Hi Mary

We’ve tried countless times.

We have tried several different ways to get kefir grains into Australia but the declaration always gets it and will not deliver it.

No live foods are permitted across the border without Governmental consent I believe.

Hi – I would like to order grains but on website offering grains – there is a statement advising – cannot send to Australia as they are funny about Kefir grains.
Do you know if this is so?

There are many variables that it could be, different milk, different timing or temperatures.

Can you ask you mom what she was doing differently?
