KEFIR STARTER CULTURES FOR HOMEMADE MILK KEFIR

(A blend of Lactic acid bacteria and yeast)


 

Contains a blend of the following Lacto-bacteria and yeast: Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris, Lactococcus lactis ssp.lactis, Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis biovar diacetylactis, S. Thermophilus, Lactobacillus Bulgaricus, Lactobacillus kefir, Lactobacillus parakefir, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Kluyveromyces lactis.

The texture depends on the temperature of incubation.

If you incubate at room temperature - the texture will be more liquid. If you incubate with yogurt maker - the texture will be more yoghurt like.


After a few re-cultivations with ready kefir and milk, you should start noticing small grains. You can separate them at this stage and use them as a starter. The grains gradually will increase in size and number and will become your own :)
