Product Reviews of Body Ecology Kefir Starter
Product Review: The easiest home-made Kefir ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this product as a recommendation from Dr. Mercola's website. Easiest way to make home-made Kefir and for a fraction of the cost. The box includes about 6 envelopes that will make about a quart of Kefir, but once you make the first batch you can save Kefir from that batch to make 6 subsequent batches without having to use another envelope. Highly recommend this if you are thinking about making your own fermented kefir.Product Review: Worked, but Required Experimentation, Tweaking...
Summary: 5 Stars
The first batch was prepared in a clean, glass, 2-quart container with a rubber lid. One packet of starter was added to one quart of organic whole milk. The packet was dissolved in the milk, the container was sealed, and the mixture was left to ferment at room temperature (approximately 70 degrees Fahrenheit) for 24 hrs. The first batch failed to ferment. Little change was observed upon inspection, save for a slight yeasty odor and a negligibly tangy taste.
A second packet of starter was added to the first batch, more milk was added to compensate for the 'taste test,' and the container was sealed once more. The second batch was successfully cultured in less than 24 hrs. It was bright white, almost yogurt consistency (a few more hours and I would have had a container of cheese), flavorful and produced a sparkling sensation on the tongue. A little more than a cup of this batch was remaindered and added to a new, clean, 2-quart container filled with milk. Hopefully the third batch will work as well as the second.
Tip: the first batch was 'agitated.' That is, I repeatedly rotated and shook the container to keep the solution 'mixed.' This may not be wise or necessary. The second batch was left alone, was not disturbed in any way, and worked beautifully.
Product Review: excellent product, a bit pricy
Summary: 4 Stars
We really like this product. It is easy to use and makes great-tasting kafir! We have also found that we can often get more than the 7 uses out of each packet. By saving a 1/2 cup of kafir from each batch to start the next batch we have successfully made as many as 10 batches from each starter packet. My only criticism is that it seems a little pricey, especially when you factor in shipping. But its so tasty that we'll continue to order.Product Review: not working
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this from a health care provider, first time I bought an quart of organic goat milk with a whole pack in it. Nothing grow.
Then the doctor told me I have to stir with sugar and warm water, let it sit for half hour, before add to the milk. I did that, and purchased two bottle of organic raw milk, still nothing grow.
What a waste of time and money!
