I think it’s interesting that certain store-bought orange juices will not allow kefir soda to ferment. They add synthetic vitamins and minerals after pasteurization. Synthetic vitamins and minerals can help with certain deficiencies but they have to be in very large amounts to be bioavailable and they will compete with natural nutrients. Fermentation cannot be synthetic although, fermentation can take place in a lab as well. It’s so interesting how the body knows all the differences. Maybe that’s the reason.
Hi Donna, please, update the description for your products on amazon specifically on the Kefir Soda Starter (to avoid customer dissatisfaction). I am a total and complete Newbie to all of this and it does not specify how to Handle the product upon receipt (after the fact I have learned is so important to success, which I am not yet experiencing - no burping/fizz etc...). I purchased about a week ago this summer (not sure how long sitting on a hot truck for delivery) and DID NOT place in the refrigerator/freezer (as the product instructions "but only on the inside" of the packet, clearly states, but of course I did not open the package right away, so I did not know the crucial importance of this.) for quite a few days as I was awaiting the delivery of the brewing bottles. So... I have just repurchased the kefir soda starter directly from your website and paid for the addition of the ice packs for shipping etc... Upon receipt I will put in the refrigerator/freezer immediately. I am excited and anxiously awaiting so I can try this for the very 1st time. Looking forward to learning, experimenting for successful results. Thank you so much for this, and all of your products... keeping my fingers crossed :)
I have your packets - and I tried making some - the first burp was normal and the second day it was a freakin volcano and shot straight up to my kitchen ceiling! scared the living heck out of me and I've been afraid to try again lol -- if I remember correctly I used a grape juice. I really want to make some.
I love making kefir soda! Learned the hard way that our homemade grape juice does interesting things...I had a "burped" bottle blow up in the fridge. Knocked the magnets and kid art off the fridge. Thankfully, no one was injured but I sure learned a lesson! If I make soda with the grape juice, I have to reduce the ratio of juice to water or it is simply a volcano.
I use coconut water from the coconuts here in Hawai’i.. they get bubbly so fast! 10-12 hrs ! I wonder how fast goes into alcohol? I’m afraid if it goes to alcohol, it won’t be beneficial ?
This is exactly what I do except I use coconut water from store with correct carb content and it is my exact same concern . It becoming too alcoholic and losing benefit.
Did you ask yourself “but how?”? People be teaching the most dumbest things. I have a friend that didn’t like me turning on the car a/c because the first warm blast of air causes cancer. I asked her how she knows that or where she heard that. She was just listening to crazy talk. 😊
@@thelthrythquezada8397 Yes, There are been MANY studies. Here is one example…. “The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition” Colas, but not other carbonated beverages, are associated with low bone mineral density in older women: The Framingham Osteoporosis Study. Catherine L. Tucker, PhD. October 2006.
It’s the sugar not the carbonation. Most carbonated drinks are loaded with sugar and because they’re not cultured probably at all the sugar is not eaten by the grains. Then you get all the sugar.😊 10:58

How do you wash the fruit (or fruit peels) you add to the kefir soda?
Is it normal for kefir soda to have sediment? (Made with kefir whey and fruit juice.)
Question; can I reuse my pickle juice!?
I was taught that carbonated drinks are bad for your bones. 🤷♀️

These drinks are naturally carbonated through the process of fermentation. Most carbonated beverages are made by forcing the CO2 gas into a solution.
@@CulturedFoodLife Why did you remove my comment showing the study about carbonated beverages depleting minerals from the bones?
