Cultures for Health Water Kefir Grains are dehydrated reusable starter grains designed for preparing homemade water kefir. The packet contains traditional water kefir grains made with organic sugar and live active cultures.

Before making the first batch, the dehydrated grains need to be activated in a mixture of cane sugar and water. Once activated, the grains are separated from the finished water kefir and transferred into a fresh sugar-water mixture for the next batch.

Unlike a single-use powdered starter, these are reusable water kefir grains. With correct preparation and regular feeding, the grains can be used repeatedly and may gradually multiply.

Each package contains one 5.4 g packet of dehydrated grains. The product is gluten-free and non-GMO and provides a practical starter for preparing water kefir at home.

After culturing, cover tightly and allow to cool for approximately 2 hours at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours before consuming.

If the chosen plant-based milk contains no sugar, the manufacturer recommends adding 5 g of sugar per cup of milk. Sucralose and stevia should not be used as substitutes for this purpose.
