Water Kefir Grains

Our live, plump grains are the best option when starting your brews. Dehydrated grains are shelf stable for up to 2 years and are a great option if you won’t be starting your brew immediately after your grains arrive.

Incorporate more probiotics in your life with water kefir, a natural beverage that is easy to customize with simple ingredients. 

Water kefir grains (tibicos) are a symbiotic relationship between yeast and bacteria. They are plump, translucent grain-textured bacterial cultures that convert sugar into healthy probiotics, enzymes and electrolytes.  They emit CO2 which adds pleasant carbonation to the drink. Water kefir can help boost the immune system, enhance gut health and calm bloating.

Water kefir grains are a living bacterial culture that can be used time and time again. When cared for and used properly, Happy Gut Water Kefir grains will keep producing delicious water kefir for you and your whole family to enjoy over and over again.
