What is the best serving amount for your kefir?

We recommend 2-4 ounces of the bottle each morning or evening if there is no evidence of gut imbalance or immune system imbalance. If there is evidence of imbalance, then the recommended dose should be 1/4-1/2 of the bottle each day. However, starting very slowly if you have major imbalance is advised. Perhaps 1 tsp or 1 tbs per day. If your body craves more, then go with it!

How long is the shelf life of your kefir?

Thanks to the abundance of healthy bacteria found in our kefir, the shelf life, even when opened is 6 months. We recommend drinking it within that time frame. You'll notice the taste becomes tangier as time goes on since the bacteria continue to eat the natural sugars from the coconut milk. You may even notice a slight effervescence. This is safe and drinkable and delicious.

Why does your coconut milk kefir get chunky?

Currently we produce our own coconut milk. We have the highest intentions to offer you the cleanest food possible. Therefore, we do not add any emulsifiers or additives to create a product that does not separate. Coconut milk separates naturally as the fat solidifies from the liquid. We recommend shaking really well and if needed leave it out to room temp and break up the chunks with a butter knife. If some chunks do not come out of the jar, putting a wee bit of filtered spring water in the jar and then shaking should work. Be sure to drink the chunks. Healthy coconut fat is good for you!

What cultures do you use?

We grow and maintain kefir grains. These are not really grains as we know rice, quinoa, buckwheat or oats. They are SCOBY (symbiotic community of bacteria and yeast). They are living microorganisms. We DO NOT use the powder freeze dried cultures.  They are LIVING micororganisms. This is why our kefir is the most powerful drink on the market.

LEMONADE

Is your lemonade like kombucha?

Yes and no. Our lemonade is made in a similar fashion as kombucha. However, we use ginger as our SCOBY. This is a wild fermentation as we derive our probiotics from the natural environment. We also differ from kombucha as we do not add sugar AFTER fermentation to create carbonation. Our lemonade does not contain caffeine, added sugar and is low in yeast but high in healthy bacteria.

Our shelf life for our probiotic lemonades are 6 months even after opened. Our lemonade bottle has potential to explode if using after about 6 months. Gas build up continues as time goes on. It is advised to let gas out every week that you have your lemonade refrigerated. Follow the instructions in package insert to "burp" your lemonade

SAUERKRAUT and CARROTS

Are there beets in your lemon ginger kraut?

No there are no beets. We use a combination of purple and green cabbage to create that sparky pink color.

Do you use vinegar and sugar to ferment?

No! We use a lacto-fermentation process. We create an anaerobic environment for the cabbage (and other veggies) so there is no need for external additives to ferment. Lacto does not mean dairy. Lacto refers to lactic acid bacteria that proliferate in an anaerobic environment.

We suggest 2 tablespoons per lunch and dinner with the other food you are eating. If you are a kraut purist, eat it right out of the jar!
