Kefir grains should be stored in a clean, airtight container with fresh milk or water (depending on the type of kefir grain) to keep them active. If not in use, refrigerate them in milk for up to 2 weeks, ensuring the milk is changed every few days to maintain freshness. For longer storage, freeze the grains in a sealed bag or container with a small amount of milk to preserve their viability. Always rinse and reactivate frozen grains before use.
