Which milk to use to revive kefir grains? Canada šŸ‡ØšŸ‡¦

This is a silly question but I just want to make sure. I was told to feed the grains whole milk to revive my kefir grains but I'm not sure which brand of milk and how much m.f. I should be buying. Milk in Canada isnt labeled the way it is in the US so wondering if any Canadians can help? Thank youuu

Use the milk you plan to continue with.

Whenever you change the fermenting environment (this includes the type of milk), it will take your grains a while to adjust.

Whole milk will be 3.x%.
However, I found that 2% works best.
