We have our own Water Kefir grains in stock for you to buy and start fermenting your own to make the most amazing health drink. All purchases come with full instructions. Water kefir is made from kefir grains, also known as sugar grains, tibicos, tibi, or Japanese water crystals. It is a combination of healthy probiotic bacteria and yeast held together in a matrix composed of a complex polysaccharide. It is one of the best dairy free probiotic sources available. The microbes feed on sugar and produce lactic acid, alcohol (ethanol), and carbon dioxide, yielding a fermented carbonated beverage. The alcohol content is usually very minimal, less than 1 %. The culture will keep multiplying as long as you take care of it and it’s only a one time purchase for a lifetime supply of probiotics. Benefits of drinking water kefir and using it on your skin.
