Dehydrated Water Kefir Grains — Organic Probiotic Culture

Dehydrated Water Kefir Grains are carefully dried live cultures, produced in a controlled fermentation lab to ensure quality, stability, and longevity. Dehydration gives the grains a longer shelf life and makes them less sensitive to temperature changes, making them ideal for shipping, storage, or keeping as a backup culture.

Once rehydrated and activated, these grains work exactly the same as fresh water kefir grains.

What Is Water Kefir?

Water kefir is a naturally sparkling, plant-based probiotic drink made by fermenting sugar water with live cultures of beneficial bacteria and yeasts. Rooted in traditional kefir-making practices, this living culture has been passed down for centuries.

Homemade water kefir is refreshing, lightly fizzy, and naturally flavourful. It can be enjoyed plain or customised with fruit, herbs, or spices during a second fermentation.

BIO certified – 100% organic, produced according to strict environmental standards Produced in a controlled environment and tested to ensure it is free from pathogens.

With proper care, your water kefir grains stay healthy and active for countless batches of sparkling probiotic drinks.

Directions

You need to activate only dried kefir grains. Fresh kefir grains are suitable for immediate use.

5 gram of dried water kefir grains reconstitute into 30 grams of fresh water kefir grains.

1. Dissolve 30g sugar (use ½ of unrefined sugar) in 300ml non-chlorinated water.

2. Add kefir grains.

3. Cover and ferment (20-24°C) for 3-4 days.

4. Strain and repeat the first 3 steps (5-7 times) until there are signs of activity. But ferment for only 2 days.

Signs that your water kefir grains are active:
  • Bubbles: When shaking the jar, you’ll notice bubbles – CO₂ produced during fermentation.
  • Change in smell and taste: The kefir develops a refreshing, slightly tangy aroma and flavour.
  • Water is no longer so sweet: The grains consume the sugar, so the liquid becomes less sweet.

Water Kefir Recipe

1. 30 g activated water kefir grains.
2. 600ml water (non-chlorinated).
3. 30g sugar.
4. A piece of dried fruit/slice of lemon.
