Organic milk kefir grains – Fresh/Live (1 teaspoon). Makes approximately 250ml.
Our grains are fully active and will produce milk kefir from the day they arrive. All live grains, are harvested directly from our working batch just before posting and as such active, fresh grains require little time to acclimate to their new home. When you follow the enclosed step-by-step instructions, the grains should produce milk kefir as soon as you have moved them into their new home. They are provided with the nutrients and environment they need to thrive.
All our organic milk kefir fresh grains are shipped in zip-sealed, food grade bags which are then heat sealed to avoid any possible leakage during transit. We then carefully package them in a hard plastic case to protect them from any possible damage such as being squashed during shipping. You also receive our detailed step-by-step, easy to follow instructions on how to care for these amazing health-giving organisms.
What are the constituents of our milk kefir?
Our milk kefir grains contain a variety of constituents that provide numerous health benefits, including:
- Probiotics: a rich source of probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria that live in your gut and help support a healthy digestive system. Milk kefir can contain up to 50 different strains of probiotics, including Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, and Bifidobacterium.
- Proteins: a variety of proteins, including casein and whey. These proteins are important for muscle growth and repair, and they also help keep you feeling full and satisfied.
- Carbohydrates: in the form of lactose, which is partially fermented during the fermentation process. This makes milk kefir a good option for those who are lactose intolerant, as the lactose is partially broken down.
- Vitamins and minerals: including calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and vitamin B12. These nutrients are important for bone health, nerve function, and energy production.
- Enzymes: including lactase, which helps break down lactose in the milk. This makes milk kefir easier to digest for those who are lactose intolerant.

Bought back in 2020 and still making yummy milk kefir (and also sourdough bread!). The taste was a little stronger than I was used to having started off with kefir powders, but have gotten used to it.

Oh My Goodness. The Milk Kefir tastes so much better than store bought. It is so easy to make and so healthy for you. The package of the Milk Kefir was so professional and well presented. Instructions for the postie on the front and clear instruction on what and how to make the Milk Kefir. It’s great to see good customer service and quality products from a small business that cares about their customers. Thank you.

Thanks to KefirCulture for the advice about milk. I’ve started buying locally produced, high-quality milk.
Uta Heidelauf (store manager) –
Thanks for your feedback Colin, great to hear you got some additional clarity on the importance of using quality milks that have had as little processing as possible as the natural enzymes improve the fermentation and can optimise the diversity of the culture’s beneficial probiotic and yeast baseline. Always happy to answer questions that improve the effectiveness of your fermentation.

Excellent product.
Uta (store manager) –
Thank you so much for your kind review! 🌟 We’re thrilled to hear you’re loving your fresh milk kefir grains.
It’s always fantastic when customers experience that vibrant, active fermentation right from day one — that’s exactly what we aim for with our fresh, never-dried grains. Your grains should keep multiplying and getting stronger with each batch, giving you that tangy, probiotic-rich kefir you’re after.
If you have any questions about caring for your grains, flavouring your kefir, or scaling up your batches, just reach out — we’re here to help!
Happy fermenting, and thank you again for choosing KefirCulture. We truly appreciate your support!

The product was well packed in a bubble pack with the Kefir itself in a little zip lock bag that was filled like a balloon with air to cushion the grains against any damage. The grains that were in the milk mixture were of different sizes with some being about the size of plump cooked grains of rice. The grains made perfect Kefir yoghurt with my So Good High Protein Soy Milk. I’m very happy with my purchase and highly recommend Kefir Culture for their Kefir Milk Grains, and their care in transport. Much appreciated!
Jessica (verified owner) –
I appreciate all the helpful advice Uta offered. I am setup for success with the taste samples, sugars, cloth and clear instructions. My grains are healthy and I am happy I’m finally making kefir milk and water.
Robert Trlin (verified owner) –
Excellent and speedy service. I needed them only to boost my existing grains so didn’t need the starter kit but I’m more than happy with the price regardless.
Rosemary Zillig (verified owner) –
