Dried Authentic Water Kefir Grains

Fantastic! I gave it a few days to be sure, as I was worried. Following the instructions (supplemented with a couple A.I. inquiries), the water kefir grains became hydrated and began to plump up and then ferment. I'm new to this so followed the instructions carefully, "feeding" the grains with four tablespoons of sugar and one tablespoon of blackstrap molasses, and only using spring water, not tap water. I threw out the first two batches. However, by the third, I saw carbonation bubbles on the top. So I poured that into a second mason jar, and seeing that it continued to carbonate even without grains in that jar, I added pure pomegranate juice, and in three days that "second ferment' was fully carbonated and delicious. I kept the original grains in the original jar (keeping around an inch of the original liquid) and poured in a new mix of springwater, sugar and molasses. Always using a wooden spoon. That is the "base" from which I can pour the fermented water into a new mason jar and add whatever juice I want to make a new carbonated beverage. I was pleased that the grains came alive and are fermenting, and slowly multiplying, in the first jar, while I make the juice beverage in the second jar. Like a little assembly line, haha. The nice thing is that the final beverage does not have a strong sugar/molasses taste as a good amount of the sugar is "eaten" by the living grains. It tastes great and hopefully the probiotics will help with gut issues.

I have been making my own water kefir for some time now, and I recently began using Yemoos Dried Authentic Water Kefir Grains. I am thoroughly impressed with both the convenience and the quality of these grains. As someone who values both health and practicality, I was pleased to find that this product allows me to easily craft a fermented beverage at home without any complexity. The instructions are clear, and the process of rehydrating and fermenting the grains is remarkably simple. Within a short period, I have a batch of refreshing, lightly tangy water kefir. The taste is pleasant and subtle—lightly sweet with just the right balance of flavor, making it an ideal alternative to sugary, store-bought drinks. What stands out to me most, however, is the profound impact it has had on my gut health. As I’ve learned over the years, maintaining a healthy digestive system is essential for overall well-being, and I’ve noticed a clear improvement since incorporating water kefir into my routine. The probiotics in the kefir seem to have enhanced my digestion and overall sense of balance, which has been an incredibly welcome benefit. I also appreciate that Yemoos offers a product that is vegan and dairy-free, aligning with my dietary preferences while still providing significant health benefits. I’ve found it to be a nourishing, natural choice for maintaining a healthy gut microbiome. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Yemoos Dried Authentic Water Kefir Grains to anyone looking for a convenient, effective, and enjoyable way to improve gut health. It has truly enriched my wellness routine, and I will continue to use it regularly.

I recently received and started these grains. I used organic coconut water with 2 tbsp raw organic cane sugar and 1 tbsp organic coconut sugar. (Coconut sugar is very dark, hence the darker grains.) After 48 hours, they plumped up beautifully! After straining the grains and re-adding sugar and purified water, I also added a half of an organic dried apricot. To the juice from the first ferment, I added the other half of the apricot and organic pomegranate juice. This should be good. Normally, I would add an organic pitted date (or dried fig) and some juice, but I'm out of dates. I would highly recommend these grains. Feed them right and they are very happy!

Nice big, healthy water kefir grains! I've used a different brand in the past and I'd say it took me over a month to get the grains as big and healthy as these were 3 days in. While you're not usually supposed to use the very first discard after rehydrating the grains, I could tell mine would have no problem carbonating - especially since I'm in California's central valley and it's summertime. So I did an organic cocoa & organic coffee cold brew 2nd ferment. It was done in 24 hours and you can tell from the picture and video that it was very bubbly! Tasted a bit like a tootsie roll too! It's super fun to play with flavors. My family loves PomWonderful Pomegranate & Blueberry kefir along with the mocha kefir. It does really well with pineapple juice, coconut water, and fresh fruits like cantaloupe and strawberries. Make sure you use bottles specifically made for the pressure of carbonation, store them well, and may you never have an explosion in your pantry or a kefir shower right in your face. Bonus tip: if you unload the dishwasher at night you can store your second fermentation bottles in there and at least know that if there is an explosion, it will be confined. You can pick out the shards of glass, reload the dishwasher and done! Far better than cleaning out the pantry, taking soggy labels off canned goods and having to re-label all of them. Ask me how I know! Or you can put them on the floor of your pantry sitting in your largest pot with a grocery bag covering the bottles and tucked inside the pot. If the plastic is outside the pot the potential liquid explosion wouldn't be confined to the pot itself and would drip down onto the pantry floor. It kept one of my 3 explosions from being a big deal. I've always thought water kefir grains would make for a great science experiment for school. And these grains in particular are wonderful. I would definitely buy them again if I ever need more though the ones I have now are multiplying like crazy. I feed them organic cane sugar. They also get treats like molasses, pink salt, baking soda, a bit of clean egg shell, or organic raisins. I call them my minions and feel bad when the babies get washed down the drain.

UPDATE 08/16/25... WOW, We're in full blast with these grains! So far we have cycled thru Molasses water, sugar water and coconut water. Blueberry, Pineapple and Strawberry second fermentations. This updated video is of a Strawberry second fermentation of simple sugar water after only 24 hours. I'll let you on a little secret. These guys, "Sassy" as I have named them, love... I mean absolutely love green Coconut water. 100 Coconuts here on Amazon runs 20 dollars and change for 12 x 11.1oz cans. That's over a gallon and the taste is great. Moreover , it is so simple and only one primary fermentation needed (No sugar, no Molasses and no minerals just Coconut water). Be carfull of additives because some processed coconut water isn't good for the grains. 100 Coconuts here on Amazon works well with these grains. We occasionally rinse our grains with spring water and I suggest you take time and do the same! Well, that all for now and will update again later. NOTE: I have been cultivating water KIFER for about 15 years and lost my first grains during a family emergency. Was able to do 2nd fermentation after 2nd feeding. Second fermentation was Black Tea. We are now on our 3rd fermentation with Lemons. Our grains (who we named "SASSY") have grown 300% now after only their 3rd feeding. That's definitely a great strain of Life cultures. We use white sugar, spring water, a dash of Trace Mineral Drops and Blackstrap Molasses. We are weaning Sassy off the Molasses while increasing the Trace Mineral Drops a drop at a time (feeding). We should have clear vibrant grains in a few weeks. One should know that 2nd fermentations can be with any fruit you choose. Yes, we even do pineapple! My lady likes it when I do my second fermentation in green Coconut water, sugar and fresh pineapple chunks. It makes the best virgin Pina Colada fizz she says. Beware of the amount of sugar though. Too much at a feeding will surely be a death sentence for your grains. Progressive amounts of sugar through 2nd and 3rd fermentations will increase the alcohol percentage but, too much will sacrifice the best flavor. I've been lacto fermentating, wine making, and feeding, Friendship Bread as well as SF Sourdough starter for years. I lost my grains when an unexpected emergency took me away for too long. Now, thanks to this seller, I'm back in the game! The video is our 2nd fermentation of the KIFER water (first was Black Tea and second is Lemons). The photo is our KIFER grains in action while on their 3rd feeding.

I recommend this product so much!! It came so fast, rehydrated so well and within 2 weeks I was getting 2 gallons of water kefir I'm every batch! I'm having to give away some of my grains cause they keep growing!! No complaints at all with this product!

I have made several Kefir soda's with this one package. It was a great investment but be careful as it will produce a lot more grains. Proving that they are extra healthy.

Good grains, delivery took a bit long but grains are good and started making water kefir on the first try.
