Kefir grains are the living symbiotic colonies of yeast and bacteria that convert milk in to the probiotic powerhouse that is milk kefir. As the kefir grains digest the lactose in the milk, they create that tangy, creamy taste and texture that makes milk kefir what it is.
However, since kefir grains are living colonies, they're delicate, making where to buy kefir grains a real issue. Any store is going to have a hard time storing living milk kefir grains, so finding kefir grains near you can be hard.
Milk kefir grains are a mother culture whose main physical structure is made up of polysaccharides, the primary of which is kefiran. Within this matrix of polysaccharides exists both bacteria and yeasts which exist in symbiosis both with each other. These bacteria and yeast feed on the milk and thereby culture it. These grains have a gelatinous feel to them and look like a sort of miniature floret shape, much like cauliflower.
The bacteria and yeast composition of milk kefir grains tend to vary according to their origin as well as their culturing environment. In other words, where the grains came from and where they are currently being used can impact the makeup of the microorganisms existing in the milk kefir grains.
This is a common question and one worth delving into. Most sources agree that the milk kefir grain culture was harnessed somewhere near the Caucasus Mountains. The grains themselves are quite unusual in that no other cultured dairy product is known to come from grains.
Though the specifics of the origination of milk kefir grains are fairly shrouded in mystery, one thing has been made clear: milk kefir grains must be acquired from somewhere. The specific polysaccharides, bacteria, and yeasts that makeup milk kefir grains have been handed down from generation to generation. You can, however, multiply your milk kefir grains once you have them in order to pass the culture on.
Depending on your definition of milk kefir, you can! Milk kefir grains are a very specific culture with a very specific combination of microorganisms. Milk kefir containing all of the bacteria, yeasts, and the polysaccharide kefiran cannot be made without milk kefir grains. If you already have milk kefir grains, you can get them to multiply in the right conditions.
Milk kefir can, however, be made from a kefir starter culture, which is a powered mixture that mimics those cultures in the milk kefir grains. These powdered starter cultures make a cultured dairy product similar in flavor and viscosity to milk kefir made from grains, but it does not contain the exact properties of kefir made from grains, and they won't continue to propagate indefinitely, like milk kefir grains do.
Milk kefir grains start in a fresh state, but they aren't very stable in that state. They require specific temperatures and feedings that are difficult to maintain while transporting or shipping the grains. As a result, you'll often find kefir grains sold in a dehydrated state.
Dehydrated kefir grains are in a dormant state and, while care should be taken with them, they are not in as fragile of a state as the fresh grains are. Dehydration does create minor stress on all cultures, but with proper activation, they should be up and running in no time.
Dehydrated kefir grains also have the advantage of having a longer shelf life. This is advantageous in that it gives you a buffer of time both in the shipping of the grains and in the time frame you have once you receive them. So if it takes a 3 or 4 days to ship your kefir grains, then you don't have time to start them for another week, this would kill live grains, but your dehydrated kefir grains will be fine.
You can obtain fresh kefir grains by getting them from a friend who is already making kefir at home, assuming that you trust that they've kept their grains healthy. Fresh grains can also be purchased online from retailers, but must be shipped swiftly under the right weather conditions and placed immediately in fresh milk upon arrival or or else the cultures can die from temperature variation or lack of food.

At Cultures for Health, our milk kefir grains are versatile and can be used with various milk types such as cow's milk, goat's milk, or non-dairy milks like almond and soy. Remember, using different types of milk can change the texture and taste of your kefir, so feel free to experiment to find what you like best.
I'm thrilled to announce that Kombucha Kamp, my recommended source for all things Kombucha is now also selling fresh, live organic kefir grains! You can find both milk kefir grains and water kefir grains here.
Previously I had only found reliable sources of dried kefir grains. But the problem with dried grains is that it takes a lot more time and work to get the grains back to health and up and producing like normal. Unfortunately, it's very common with dried grains that even when they get back to producing kefir, they don't multiply like the should. Meaning that something is not quite right, they are lacking in vitality. Now there are times when you may need to use dried kefir grains. But unless you absolutely have to I'd highly recommend going for the live grains instead.
Milk kefir, commonly known as simply, kefir, is a delicious and healthy probiotic milk drink, similar to yogurt but with even more health benefits. It's a great way to colonize the beneficial bacteria in your gut. It's been said that our health begins with our digestive system. A healthy digestive system allows us to extract and assimilate the nutrients in our food. The beneficial bacteria in our gut also produce some nutrients for our body through their normal metabolic processes, and help to eliminate pathogenic (bad) bacteria.
Kefir is even easier to make than yogurt. In fact, it has to be one of the easiest of all the fermented foods to make. You don't have to preheat the milk, and use a thermometer to cool it to just the right temperature, then keep it at the right temperature until the fermentation is complete. It's so easy, you just add milk and kefir grains and leave it out at room temperature for 24 hours.
Water kefir (also known as tibicos, ginger bug and African bees), makes a healthy vegan probiotic drink. Water kefir is a nice tasting, refreshing beverage made from water, sugar, water kefir grains and natural flavorings of your choice. The flavoring is where you get to be really creative. Water kefir usually ferments in 24-48 hours. Many people have used water kefir to break their soda addictions. Even kids tend to love water kefir.
water kefir is made with sugar water I cannot have a lot of sugar so how many grams of sugar does it have I cannot have more than 15 grams of sugar and does milk kefir have sugar in it too and how much
Kefir is the most popular fermented drink produced from the fermentation of fresh raw milk by bacteria and yeast. It is often mistaken for buttermilk, but it is a completely different drink because it is milk mixed with kefir grains.
Chemicals such as lactate, acetate, diacetyl, ethanol, and acetaldehyde produced during the fermentation process give kefir its characteristic flavor. The yeast produces carbon dioxide during the fermentation process that gives the drink its characteristic fizziness.
