Yogourmet Kefir Starter with Probiotics (12 Sachets = 12 Quarts of Kefir) - Make Kefir at Home - Starter Culture - All Natural, Gluten Free, Kosher, Halal - 3 g Sachets

I recently (about 2 weeks ago) began using this kefir starter and also Cultures for Health Bulgarian yogurt starter. Both taste really good and provide gut health benefits.A side effect I was not expecting was that I seem to have lost my craving for sweets. I've always had a 'sweet tooth' but since being diagnosed with diabetes a few years ago have been struggling with this. Imagine my surprise when after about a week of eating both every day, I've completely lost my sugar craving.I hope it lasts!

Works perfectly. Tastes great. I even can stretch one packet by making the next batch or two with a 1/4 cup of leftover keefir. Can use 2% or whole milk. Will definitely buy again.

I’ve made milk kefir for years. This is the best product I have used.

reliable starter that makes good yogurt

This is a good product, but if you do not follow the instructions perfectly, then it does not work. I had to buy a food thermometer to make sure I caught the correct temperature range according to the instructions. I do not recommend allowing the milk to boil. Use the thermometer to keep it in range and for the proper cooling level. Much thicker than store bought Kefir and not as tart. Almost has a yogurt consistency, but very good flavor. Have used 2% milk and whole milk.

Great!!

The starter arrived on time, and I was excited at first. I used my yogurt maker to make some kefir. Several hours passed, and there was sign of kefir. Eventually after 24 hours, all I had was rotten milk, which was gross.From what I understand, starters of this type absolutely need to be kept refrigerated because the probiotics are heat-sensitive and require a cool temperature to survive. The fact that this seller did not ensure refrigeration or temperature control for this product is a major cause for concern. For a heat-sensitive item, they should have made this crystle clear.My guess is that this starter was subjected to too much heat before it even got to me, and the live probiotics inside, had already perished. This means the seller failed to properly handle or ship a delicate, temperature-sensitive product. They are responsible for ensuring it arrives alive. The lack of any temperature warnings just highlights their failure to manage this properly from the start.Because I received a starter that was clearly of no use, I am giving it one star and I absolutely do not recommend this product.

Excellent results by just mixing onepacket of this starter with room temperature Ultra Pasteurized whole milk and Ultra Pasteurized half and half in a quart glass bottle, lightly capping the bottle, then leaving it on the kitchen counter for 24 hours. Very thick and tangy results! Refrigerate your Keifer after 24 hours to stop the fermentation process. If you want it a little thinner, just use more milk than half and half. Use some dairy friendly Torani flavoring such as Orange or Raspberry to make a great tasting and somewhat healthy smoothie.
