Water Kefir Grains

Water kefir is the vegan cousin of milk kefir and caffeine-free friend of kombucha. These grains can be used perpetually to make fizzy, probiotic sodas.

Please note that fresh grains get shipped at the start of each week and dried grains get shipped straight away.

Should I buy fresh or dried grains?
To be honest it does not matter at all. The 1 Tbsp of dried grains rehydrate within 24 hours to 3 Tbsp of hydrated/fresh grains and they make kefir from the first batch, the same as the fresh grains. The dried grains are OK with delays in shipment and to rural addresses. They are also great if you want to give away grains as a gift as they are shelf stable. The fresh grains need to be fed when you receive them, the dried grains are fine without food for up to 6 months before they need hydrating and feeding.
Because the dried grains are so easy to ship and hydrate fast and easy we may only offer dried grains in the future, but right now we offer both as some customers ...
