Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Coconut Water Kefir and Coconut Milk Kefir?
Coconut Water Kefir is light, sparkling, and refreshing – think probiotic tonic. Coconut Milk Kefir is creamy and tangy, similar in consistency to dairy kefir, perfect for smoothies or enjoying like yoghurt.
Are these products vegan?
Yes, both are 100% plant-based and suitable for vegans and anyone avoiding dairy.
Do they contain the same probiotics as milk kefir?
Both coconut kefirs are fermented using traditional water kefir grains, creating billions of beneficial bacteria. While the specific probiotic strains differ slightly from milk kefiR, both deliver powerful gut health benefits.
How do I use Coconut Milk Kefir?
Use it anywhere you'd use dairy kefir or yoghurt – blended into smoothies, poured over granola or muesli, mixed into overnight oats, or enjoyed straight from the glass. It's also excellent in salad dressings and dips.
What does Coconut Water Kefir taste like?
Lightly tangy with subtle coconut notes and a gentle effervescence. It's refreshing drunk chilled on its own, or use it as a base for probiotic mocktails and smoothies.
Is separation normal?
Yes! Coconut Milk Kefir may separate slightly – this is completely natural. Simply give it a gentle shake before use.
How should I store these products?
Keep refrigerated at all times. Coconut Water Kefir is best consumed within 4 weeks of receipt. Coconut Milk Kefir within 28 days for optimal freshness and probiotic activity.
Are these products suitable for people with nut allergies?
Coconuts are technically classified as drupes, not tree nuts. However, if you have concerns about coconut allergies, please consult your healthcare provider.
Traditionally preserved and fermented shrubs made by Genna and Katrina. We love a female owned slow food, good flavoured business. Have you noticed? These are gorgeous and we are super happy to have them here for you! Add them to water like a good old fashioned cordial - only more savoury, healthier and more sophisticated than that bright green one we used to have in the day! I am loving all of the seasonal flavours they have - constantly changing so keep your eyes out.
Also - there is this: with years of experience in herbal medicine and fermenting practice between them, Genna and Katrina bring a genuine passion for slow food and real ingredients to the drinks they create. These shrubs are slow fermented and need to be stored in the fridge as they are raw/unpasteurised to keep all of that goodness and get it into you. Made at the Pyewacket’s Shrub Factory and Shop in Ballina, Northern New South Wales, Australia.
Just add water or sparkling water to make delicious alcohol free-spritzers. OR yes, you can make some superb tasting cocktails with these too. x
