You can use regular kefir starter to make coconut kefir. I found the

freeze dried stuff in the cooler at our local health food store. Kefir

hobbyists say this isn't much better than buttermilk though. I

recently purchased some japanese water kefir grains from a hobbyist on

ebay and had it shipped up from the US. There are some listings for

kefir grains, rather than starter. We're pretty happy with the water

kefir, my boys wouldn't take the coconut. This goes in their juice

without a fight.

Good point Kes, we just started water kefir grains a few months back

and I love them! If one is able I would strongly advise using

both. The point of yck is that along with benefical bac you are

getting the amazing benefits from the coconut. The water grains do

offer bacteria, but not as many properties as coconut.

Well my coconut kefir is done and I'm not sure I did it correctly. How can I tell if it is what it is supposed to be? It smells yucky in the jar, coconutty but sour too. Tastes kind of sour/vinegary but still can get the mild coconut flavor. It is a cloudy light white color, kinda like soapy water. No fizz it whatsoever. Isn't it supposed to be fizzy/carbonated a bit?

Re: Coconut kefir in Canada

We use coconut oil whenever and wherever we can for the omegas and theantiviral properties. I can't get my kids to eat coconut. I just hopethe oil is enough :)Kes> > >> > > Hi group-> > > Read about coconut kefir on this site and we have to try it.

What you described sounds right. Shouldn't taste sweet, vinegar too

much. Somewhere in the middle.
