FAQ
What are the shelf life if refrigerated for the products?
All of our products have about 6 months shelf life in the refrigerator whether they are opened or unopened, except our applesauce and pear sauce. Our applesauce and pear sauce should be consumed within 1 month of receiving the products. This is because fruit ferments faster than vegetables.

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.
