What it is

Organic yogurt is a cultured dairy product made from organic milk. The milk is first heated, then cooled, and a starter culture of specific bacteria (usually Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus) is added. These bacteria ferment the lactose (sugar) in the milk into lactic acid, which thickens the milk and gives yogurt its characteristic tangy flavor.

Why it's used

Yogurt is primarily used as a food product itself, often flavored with fruit or other ingredients. It also serves as a base or ingredient in various dishes, including smoothies, dips, sauces, and desserts. Its creamy texture and tangy taste make it a versatile ingredient.

Health notes

Organic yogurt is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein, calcium, and probiotics, which are live microorganisms that may benefit gut health. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated yogurt and its components. While generally considered healthy, some individuals may experience digestive upset from lactose or the tanginess of yogurt.

Allergen info

Yogurt is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
