L. Reuteri Superfood is a superb cultured dairy brimming with the exceptional probiotic Lactobacillus Reuteri. For the fermentation of L. Reuteri Superfood to succeed, it's essential to do certain things in a particular way. We've gathered some of these important tips in the form of DOs and DON'Ts.

DOs:

• Follow the instructions closely. In the vast majority of cases where fermentation seems to have not worked properly, it is the result of not following the instructions. 
• Keep fermentation time to 36 hours. A few minutes past the 36-hour mark, or a few minutes less, won't make any difference, but overall, keep fermentation to 36 hours, as recommended in the instructions.
• Keep fermentation temperatures to 100 F. A couple of degrees hotter or colder will not make much difference, but overall, 100 F is the ideal temperature within the temperature range for L. Reuteri Superfood.
• Add the prebiotic fiber to every batch. The prebiotic fiber is food for the L. Reuteri bacteria, which are living microorganisms and need to eat. It also helps achieve a thicker texture.
• Use a whisk. This will help with even distribution of starter and fiber throughout the mixture.
• Enjoy your L. Reuteri Superfood in a variety of fabulous recipes. L. Reuteri Superfood can be enjoyed in dips, salads, smoothies, desserts, and many more delectable recipes such as these.

DON'Ts:

• Don't forget to add the prebiotic fiber to every batch. The prebiotic fiber is food for the L. Reuteri bacteria, which are living microorganisms and need to eat. It also helps achieve a thicker texture.
• Don't add the starter to hot liquid. The L. Reuteri bacteria are sensitive to high heat. They can't survive in high cooking temperatures. Let the liquid cool down before adding the L. Reuteri.
• Don't eat it all up! Once you've made a batch of L. Reuteri Superfood, use some of it to culture your next batch. This is called reculturing and can be repeated several times over.
• Don't blend too intensely. Blending could result in the shearing of some of the L. Reuteri bacteria, in which case you will get fewer live strains. Whisking, on the other hand, is fine. If you're making a smoothie, we recommend either stirring the L. Reuteri Superfood into the smoothie after the rest of the ingredients have been blended, or to keep the blending to a minimum and to use the lowest speed possible.
• Don't throw away your batch of L. Reuteri Superfood if it separated into solid and liquid. Separation is very common. A separated batch is usually perfectly good and delicious. Separation is mostly a cosmetic thing, and not usually a sign of a problem. We have addressed this topic in our FAQs page.
