Q) What exactly is YOGURT? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A) YOGURT, also spelled yoghurt, is a |
|
|
|
|
|
smooth, semi-solid dairy product made from |
|
|
|
|
|
milk. People all over the world have eaten |
|
|
|
|
|
yogurt for thousands of years but, con- |
|
|
|
|
|
sumption in the United States did not begin |
|
|
|
|
|
in earnest until the late 1900's. Yogurt makers |
|
|
|
|
|
add live active food cultures to milk to make |
|
|
|
|
|
yogurt. These cultures multiply at carefully control- |
|
|
|
|
led temperatures and cause milk to ferment (ripen). |
|
|
|
|
During the fermentation process, the cultures change |
|
|
|
|
lactose (milk sugar) into lactic acid. Lactic acid |
|
|
|
|
|
causes fluid milk to thicken resulting in yogurt. |

Q) What is FROZEN YOGURT? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A) FROZEN YOGURT is simply the process of |
|
|
|
|
|
freezing the yogurt product in a sterile, carefully con- |
|
|
|
|
trolled, USDA approved machine made especially for |
|
|
|
|
dispensing soft serve products. The process it uses to |
|
|
|
|
create such a smooth texture and flavor is very similar |
|
|
|
|
to the one used by many at home, with the old crank |
|
|
|
|
type mixers to make homemade ice cream. |

Q)What are LIVE-ACTIVE FOOD CULTURES? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A) LIVE-ACTIVE FOOD CULTURES that are used in making |
|
|
|
yogurt are natural bacteria, similar to those found in our bodies |
|
|
|
that help keep us healthy. They play a very important role in many |
|
|
areas of good health. With the onset of processed foods and anti- |
|
|
|
biotics, many of these "good" bacteris or cultures are stripped away |
|
|
|
from our bodies natural flora, leaving us depleted in many ways. |
|
|
|
With the re-introduction of these live, active cultures in yogurt we are |
|
|
able to replenish our systems again with many of the needed |
|
|
|
bacteria to help make us healthy again. |
