More about these grains
These live active cultures contain over 50 different types of yeast and bacteria existing in a symbiotic relationship.
This makes kefir a powerhouse when compared to yogurt which only has seven. Adding the kefir grains to fresh milk yields a supercharged probiotic drink in 24 hours!
You Will Receive
- 1 Tablespoon of live kefir grains. This is enough to make 2-3 cups of kefir. Take care of them and they will continue to grow and multiply. If you make kefir every day, they will double or triple in a week!

Packaging & Shipping Information
I ship these live grains in milk in a small glass jar. Sometimes pressure can build up inside the jar, causing the milk to leak out a bit. This is why I also put the jar in a food-grade heat-sealed storage bag. If your grains/milk have leaked out of the jar and into the bag, and even if the bag seems to be filled up with air like a balloon, please note that this is perfectly normal. Your grains should still be just fine and ready to make delicious kefir for you.
I ship these grains from southern California via USPS Priority Mail. I only ship them on Mondays unless Monday is a holiday, in which case I'll ship them on Tuesday. It usually takes 2-3 days for these grains to reach anywhere in the country, but the post office doesn't guarantee this. Don't fret if your grains have been delayed. They should still be good to go when you receive them. They are very strong grains.
We'll email you a tracking link when we ship them, and on the USPS Tracking page, you'll be able to sign up for text alerts.
Please watch for your grains so that you can bring them inside as soon as they are delivered. They will be hungry by the time they reach your home, so be sure to feed them right away!
You don't want them to sit in your mailbox for hours on end. Outside temperatures can damage and even kill them.
This will make me very very sad!
Note about the milk you use
Please don’t use ultra-pasteurized milk when making kefir. Your kefir won’t do well. Many times organic milk that your purchase from a store is ultra-pasteurized, even if it does not say ultra-pasteurized. So if you choose to use organic milk, make sure you know what you are getting and that it's not ultra-pasteurized. Any other type of milk including raw milk that you get from your local farmer is still perfectly fine!
Returns
Due to the nature of these live cultures, we cannot accept any returns. All sales are final. If you find that you're having trouble making good kefir, please contact us right away. We'll do our best to help figure out what is going on. Sometimes people think their grains have gone bad and they toss them before contacting us. Please don't throw out your grains!
