What are dried water kefir grains?

Dried water kefir grains are live cultures of good bacteria and yeasts that have been put into a dormant state by drying them. Once you activate them with sugar water, they become active again, and you can make water kefir indefinitely. The grains grow with each use and can be reused repeatedly.

Why dried grains?

Long shelf life – months to years when stored properly – easy to store – no refrigeration needed – perfect gift – light and compact for shipping – in stock – always available when you want to start. Ideal if you don't want to start immediately or as a reserve supply.

Activation and use

Place the dried grains in a glass jar – add 500 ml lukewarm water and 2 tablespoons of sugar – stir until the sugar is dissolved – cover with a cloth and elastic band – leave for 24-48 hours and replace the water – repeat this for 3-5 days until the grains are active and the water is slightly sparkling – now they are ready for use. Afterwards, use them as fresh grains.
