Water Kefir Grains

Water kefir grains are a unique probiotic culture used to ferment sugar water into a delicious, fizzy, and health-promoting beverage. These small, translucent grains contain a symbiotic colony of beneficial bacteria and yeasts that work together to transform simple ingredients into a nutrient-rich drink.
Key benefits of water kefir grains include:
1. Probiotic powerhouse: Water kefir is rich in diverse strains of beneficial bacteria and yeasts, supporting gut health and overall immunity.
2. Low in sugar: During fermentation, the microorganisms consume most of the sugar, resulting in a low-sugar beverage perfect for replacing sodas and other sweetened drinks.
3. Nutrient boost: The fermentation process creates vitamins, minerals, and organic acids that are easily absorbed by the body.
4. Digestive support: Regular consumption may improve digestive health and alleviate issues like constipation and irritable bowel syndrome.
5. Antioxidant properties: Water kefir contains antioxidants that help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
6. Versatile and customizable: Water kefir can be flavored with various fruits, herbs, or juices to suit individual tastes.
Water kefir grains are reusable and can produce batch after batch of probiotic-rich beverages. They're easy to maintain, requiring only sugar water and some minerals for nourishment. Unlike milk kefir, water kefir is dairy-free and vegan-friendly, making it an excellent option for those with dietary restrictions.
To use, simply combine the grains with sugar water & mineral supplement of your choice (I include a list of options in the care guide) and let ferment for 24-48 hours. The result is a refreshing, slightly sweet, and effervescent drink that can be enjoyed daily as part of a healthy lifestyle. Drink it straight, add it to smoothies, or get creative with it!
Water kefir grains offer a natural, cost-effective way to introduce probiotics into your diet while enjoying a delicious, homemade beverage. Whether you're looking to improve gut health, boost immunity, or simply enjoy a healthier alternative to sugary drinks, water kefir grains are an excellent addition to your kitchen.
*Please note that the color may vary slightly between clear/white and light brown. This is totally normal as the kefir grains will take on the color of whatever they are fed. I give them some molasses for added minerals to keep them strong and healthy.

Water Kefir...
The Kefir grains came wrapped really well and quick. I placed them in some sugar water to make sure they were active and healthy. After a couple days I noticed they started to produce bubbles, which I read is good news, I am so happy with my grains. Can't wait to try my first kefir pop! Would definitely order from Living Farms again.

Now I make soda that helps our guts!
This was an easy way to bring health to my home and my kids LOVE it! I used to make kombucha and everyone loves the flavor of this more. I love that it's better for your gut and that it takes so much less time (2 days or so for the first ferment and then just ONE day to have delicious carbonation in the second ferment). The directions were easy to follow. The one thing I wasn't sure about was dosing on minerals, but just a pinch of my homemade electrolyte (2:1 Redmond's real salt: potassium chloride) works perfectly with Brita water.

Water kefir grains
I've made a couple batches of water kefir and all please with the results. I made it flavored with grape juice so it tasted like a slightly carbonated grape soda. Delicious and healthy!
