Your source for water kefir grains and other delicious and healthy fermentable cultures

Welcome to waterkefir.co.nz!

We have the following cultures available for shipping anywhere in New Zealand:

Water Kefir Grains

Water Kefir grains, combined with sugar/water mixtures, make refreshing probiotic sodas. This is a great option for those who do not tolerate dairy. Sugar/water mixtures can include fruit juices, herbs, ginger and various sweeteners.

Milk Kefir Grains (Back-ordered, one month delay)

These grains look like small lumps of overcooked cauliflower. They culture milk to produce a sour, probiotic yoghurt-like product. They grow in cow or goat milk, raw or pasteurized, full or skim.

Caspian Sea Yoghurt

Caspian Sea Yoghurt, also known as, "Viili Yoghurt," is a traditional starter for a yoghurt that cultures at room temperature. It has a mild flavour and we love to eat it mixed with Milk Kefir. Compared to a laboratory produced powdered yoghurt, this culture contains a diverse range of microflora. It can be mixed with cow or goat milk.

Kombucha (SCOBY) (Back-ordered, one week delay)

The Kombucha "mushroom" or SCOBY (Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeasts) cultures sweet tea to make a refreshing sour/sweet probiotic soda.

Sourdough (Wild New Zealand yeast, started in March 2006 in Northland)

Make your own delicious, healthy sourdough bread, pancakes, crackers, etc. This starter is 100% wild (no commercial yeast was used to get it going). I started it here in the Far North in March 2006. This starter comes with recipes for bread, crackers, scones, pancakes and crumpets.
