This is a freeze-dried kefir culture starter made in Japan. This product is 1 pouch, containing 8 sachets of kefir culture. Each sachet contains 3.8g of starter and is designed to ferment 1 Quart (1 Liter) of store bought milk. 1 pack can also ferment less than 1 quart without any health concerns, or you can split half a sachet for a half a quart if desired. Just be sure to completely seal an open and unused sachet. Original Kefir Ca+ aims to breakdown the barrier to entry of at-home fermentation by being the easiest culture starter to use on the market. To make a healthy and delicious probiotic yogurt, simply add 1 sachet to 1 quart (liter) of room temperature milk*, let sit for 24-36 hours, once hardend to a consistancy similar to heavy cream, refridgerate for 6-8 hours. After its cooled, just serve and enjoy. The milk can be in the store bought container, or in a sperate clean container (glass, plastic, etc.). *Room temperature is defined as 70-77 degrees F. If temperature is lower, it will take more time to ferment. This kefir is the result of a symbiotic fermentation of 4 lactic acid bacteria strains and 3 types of probiotic yeasts. These bacteria feed on the lactose content of the milk and the culture grows. The finished yogurt has 2.1 Billion CFU in 1 ml (at time of manufacture). A 240ml serving, or 1 cup, will contain approximately 488 billion CFU of lactic acid bacteria and probiotic yeast. The flavor is a more mild version of plain yogurt. It is familiar but with a weaker tart taste. It is very pleasant and matches well with plenty of flavors. Because it is all natural, it is safe to mix with any normal yogurt toppings, see below for some ideas. We recommend to make kefir with whole, low-fat, or soy milk. But fermentation can also be done with the middle ranges of dairy milk such as 2% and skim. In terms of plant-based milk, we have only proven fermentation with Soy milk. It does not work with Almond milk. In additon to kefir, this starter contains a generous boost of calcium. The same 1 cup (240ml) serving should have over 350mg of calcium in it. Again, since the product is all natural, it is safe for all members of the family and the added calcium is a good benefit for growing kids. However, please consult a pediatrician before giving your children kefir as it is a very strong probiotic.
