Cow's milk kefir grains

I have been caring for my milk kefir grains for over 6 years now. They are grown naturally, using organic cow’s milk in glass kilner jars. Their pace of development ebbs and flows with changes in the weather and other environmental factors as one would expect from a living entity.

This symbiotic community of bacteria and yeasts will make a thick and creamy lactic acid bacteria-rich milk drink for you for the rest of your life. Milk kefir contains microbes and their all-important by-products. Not only can you drink it, but it makes a versatile addition to many dishes, from breakfast cereal to curry. It is also possible to add a variety of fruits or herbs to it as a second ferment to augment the flavour. Not to mention making a labneh-style cheese from it. Yes the possibilities are endless.

Milk kefir contains approximately 30-50 species of beneficial bacteria and the microbes in my milk kefir have actually been identified by the TEAGASC laboratory in Cork, Ireland.

Whilst my grains are fed on organic full fat cow’s milk, they can be gently transferred to goat’s milk or even to coconut milk (ask me for details).
