How to keep the rest
After opening, keep the remaining kefir refrigerated in its original container. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent contamination. It is best consumed within the recommended timeframe after opening, usually a few days, to enjoy the live cultures at their peak.
