Kefir is a natural probiotic drink. The "normal flora" in kefir is made of very strong strains of micro organisms. It is a natural way to add good bacteria to the digestive system. These packets contain bacteria that thrive in dairy, using up most of the lactose and other milk sugars while partially digesting the proteins. These strong bacterial strains will, also, culture coconut water from young coconuts, fruit juices and rice, soy or almond milk.
Our Kefir Culture Starter contains the following probiotic organisms: Lactococus lactis subsp. Lactis, Lactococus lactis subsp. Cremoris, Lactococus lactis subsp. Diacetylactis, Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. Cremoris, Lactobacillus kefyr, Kliyveromyces marxianus var. marxainus, Saccharomyces unisporus. One box of kefir starter contains 6 individual packets. Each packet can be used for up to 7 generations of cultured milk and a limitless number of generations of cultured coconut kefir or fermented juices.
Refrigerate Wilderness Family Naturals Kefir Culture Starter packets until they are ready for use. They will generally keep for approximately two years when refrigerated.
