Water kefir grains will grow when used to make water kefir.

Dairy kefir grains can be used to make water kefir but will not grow.

You can use dairy kefir grains to make coconut milk kefir but you may have to experiment a bit.

Kefir grains are a type of SCOBY, symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeasts. The culture consumes the sugar in the liquid and releases wonderful vitamins and living culture. It's the best probiotic!

. Kefir is one of the few stable sources of folic acid. It's a traditional food.

If you are highly sensitive to dairy you may want to get your dairy grains from someone who has been making dairy-free kefir. I can send dairy grains but I cannot guarantee I will be able to rinse all the milk off.

And store-bought kefir is similar too but not the same as homemade. Homemade is healthier (more variety in the active cultures) and less predictable.

If you google "Dom's kefir" you should find Dom's site which has more than you've ever wanted to know about kefir, lol. There are also several yahoo groups dedicated to kefir with very experienced members to help you.

HTH!!
