Enjoying Yogurt Everyday
We enjoy homemade yogurt everyday. Not your typical store-bought kind, but fresh, probiotic-rich homemade yogurt. It doesn't have the added fillers, starches, gelatin, artificial flavors or colors.
Yogurt is a staple at our house, which means I make a big batch of it every week. We use it in smoothies, salad dressings, dips and soups. We also use the whey for soaking whole grains and baking light and fluffy breads, muffins and cakes.
Oh, yes we also love our homemade desserts like yogurt cheesecake and frozen yogurt.
Yogurt and other fermented dairy products, like kefir, have been staple foods for centuries. Just about every culture has it's own favorite fermented dairy product.
What we call yogurt or yoghurt, is known by many other names. It is loved by millions around the world. The French call it yoghourt. In Finland it is known as Plimae.
Norwegians call it Kaelder milk.

Many believe that fermented dairy products can add years to your life. It seems like a real possibility
since so many cultures where yoghurt is a dietary staple enjoy a long and healthy life span.
Besides the benefits of probiotics, there are also many nutritional benefits to this cultured dairy treat.
