Product Description

Kefir has many benefits including better digestion of fats, proteins and carbohydrates, and has been known for thousands of years for its anti-aging and immune enhancing properties. * Kefir is an ancient cultured food rich in amino acids, enzymes, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and B vitamins. Kefir means "feel good" in Turkish, and that's just how you'll feel after drinking a glass in the morning! Easy and fun to make at home, it is superior to commercial yogurt. An absolute must after antibiotic use! * Unlike yogurt, kefir can actually colonize the intestinal tract and is simple and fun to make at home.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best, June 4, 2009

I would like to compare Body Ecology's starter to Omega Nutrition's starter and these store bought Kefirs: Helios, Nancy's, and Lifeway's Organic line. The Omega Nutrition starter makes Kefir that is thick, creamy, and cultures well, but lacks the level of tartness and "zing" I'm used to. The store boughts are all good; thick, tart, and have a "zing" resembling mild carbonation, but they are expensive, and in plastic bottles which leach toxins. The exception is Nancy's which is in a paperboard carton, but this leaches a noticeable aftertaste. Body Ecology's starter is my favorite of all, it has all the good qualities, and eliminates the bad ones. My only complaint is the price. Also, I'm not comparing any of these to living grains. What I prefer about the starter kits is the guaranteed/measured strains and potency of flora and healthy yeasts. Over time, live grains can fluctuate/lose their flora strains and potency levels.

To some people, getting kefir from a commercial starter pack may seem like heaven. But the fact is, this is not real kefir. Real kefir does not need to be rebought once you buy it. It is a living symbiosis of bacteria and yeast that replicates and grows larger, producing more 'grains'. In no way can this be replicated in a commercial starter pack. If you want REAL kefir, do some research, find what do look for, and buy it elsewhere. Real kefir will last you forever, you'll never have to buy more unless you let the grains die from neglect!

Excellent product! Able to make my own Kefir in 24 hours with a very minimum of effort. Another benefit to home made Kefir is that you control the quality of ingredients so you know what your consuming. I recommend highly!
