 Yogurt, also spelled as yoghurt, is a dairy food created by fermenting
bacteria that is present in milk, and it comes in many different varieties. Plain yogurt
refers to types that are not flavored. Varieties that are fruit-flavored typically have
pieces of fruit mixed with it, such as blueberry, strawberry or banana. Many people
enjoy frozen yogurt as a substitute for ice cream. Types vary depending on where
they are made.
Though all types are nutritious, plain yogurt tends to be more rich in
nutrients than its fruit-flavored counterparts. There is no sugar added to plain
varieties, and while it is less caloric than fruit-flavored versions, it is richer in
calcium and contains nearly twice as much protein. Plain yogurt is usually made
from cow's milk, but it can also be made from sheep's milk or goat's milk.
Unflavored types vary depending on whether the type of milk used in making it is
whole, low fat, or nonfat.
Fruit-flavored yogurt is popular because of its taste, but its sugar content
tends to be high. Because its consistency resembles custard, it is sometimes called
custard-style.
People who are lactose intolerant can still enjoy yogurt because of changes
that occur during fermentation. The process of making this product actually creates
an enzyme, lactase, which is needed by lactose-intolerant people in order to
properly digest dairy products. This is why some people prefer frozen yogurt over
ice cream. Frozen versions, however, contain roughly the same amount of fat and
sugar as ice cream, and freezing it destroys the majority of the live bacteria that
promote good health.

IMPRESSIVE HEALTH BENEFITS of YOGURT.

Yogurt has been consumed by humans for hundreds of years. It’s very
nutritious, and eating it regularly may boost several aspects of your health. For
example, yogurt has been found to reduce the risk of heart disease and osteoporosis,
as well as aid in weight management. There are some health benefits of natural
yogurt.
1. It’s Rich in Important Nutrients
 Yogurt contains some of nearly every nutrient that yur body needs. It’s
known for containing a lot of calcium, a mineral necessary for healthy teeth
n bones.
2. It’s High in Protein.
Protein has been shown to support metabolism by increasing your energy
expenditure, or the number of calories that you burn throughout the day.
Getting enough protein is also important for appetite regulation, as it
increases the production of hormones that signal fullness.

STEPS HOW TO MAKE YOGURT.

1. Heat the milk to 180 degrees fahrenheit. This kills whatever unsavory
microbes may be lurking in your milk and ensures you’ve got no remnant
bacteria, pathogens, mold, or spores.
2. Cool the milk to 112-115 degrees fahrenheit. After you’ve made the milk
inhospitable for the bad stuff, you want to make it hospitable for the good
bacteria.
3. Add your yogurt starter I mean add the good bacteria. Pour out one cup of
warm milk and stir in either a yogurt starter.
4. Stir the yogurt starter with the rest of the milk. This spreads the good
bacteria throughout all the milk.
5. Pour the milk into jars and incubate for 7-9 hours. The longer you incubate
your yogurt the thicker and tangier it’ll be. And after about 8 hours, you’ll
have delicious, healthy, thick and creamy yogurt.
6. Place the jars in the fridge to cool and set.Cool the yogurt in the refrigerator
for a couple of hours. As the yogurt cools it will get even thicker! Yummy
