The benefits of homemade yogurt and how to prepare it yourself?
Yogurt has been in our diet since the time of our ancestors. It is assumed that it originates from the lactic acid drink "koumis", which the proto-Bulgarians made from mare's milk. Yogurt has remained an invariable part of our menu. Tasty, healthy and budget-friendly, an excellent choice for your breakfast.
Dairy products are rich in calcium, which is extremely important for the strength and maintenance of our bone system. Fortunately, these products are not only useful but also very tasty.
Here are some benefits of yogurt:
- It is rich in nutrients - In addition to calcium, yogurt is also rich in B vitamins, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus. These minerals help regulate blood pressure and metabolism.
- It has a high protein content - there are 12 grams of protein per 200 grams of milk. Proteins stimulate metabolism by increasing energy expenditure.
- It has a positive effect on the digestive tract - the presence of probiotics regulates the work of the digestive tract and reduces the unpleasant symptoms of irritated intestines.
- Strengthens the immune system - probiotics in yogurt reduce inflammation caused by viral infections and intestinal disorders.
- Protects against osteoporosis - the presence of calcium, potassium, proteins and phosphorus support the strength of our bone system, which would protect us from diseases such as osteoporosis.
- Helps to control body weight - high protein content increases the production of hormones that give the body the feeling of satiety. In this way, calorie intake can be reduced, which is helpful for weight control.
And how nice would it be if you could prepare your own milk at home? This way you will know that the product you are consuming contains only natural ingredients.
Making homemade yogurt for you and your family is not at all difficult, nor does it require special skills. With Lactina's zakvaski, making yogurt becomes child's play.
All you need is 1 liter of milk, one sachet of the natural Bulgarian probiotic sourdough for homemade yogurt Lactina and two 500ml jars .
We heat the fresh milk to about 80-85 degrees for 10-15 minutes to pasteurize it and when it is ready, we cool it down to the fermentation temperature of 43-45 degrees. If the milk is pasteurized, then we only heat it to 43-45 degrees. You can see the exact dosage here.
For an even healthier combination and for those who like to experiment and try new flavors, Laktina offers sourdough with freeze-dried Bulgarian rose petals. Combined with yogurt, rose petals increase their beneficial effect on the body.
When making homemade yogurt, you can use a special yogurt maker. This is an electric machine with 2 bowls with a lid, each with a capacity of 1 liter. It is possible to adjust the time of operation and automatic shutdown after the set time has elapsed. The machine maintains the necessary temperature all the time for proper fermentation. Produced according to the technological requirements of Lactina, it will be your indispensable helper in the kitchen.
For those of you who prefer the traditional method, after filling the jars with the mixture, you close them tightly and cover them with a thick blanket to keep them warm for at least 7-8 hours.
It is very important that the products you use are fresh and the dishes well cleaned.
After the necessary hours have passed, look to see if the milk has thickened and reached the familiar consistency. If the answer is yes, then you did it.
Congratulations! Your yogurt is ready. Place it in the refrigerator until it is ready to eat.
With its beneficial properties, yogurt promotes good intestinal flora and improves digestion. It is rich in probiotics and strengthens the immune system. Yogurt is a dairy product that is obtained from bacterial fermentation of milk. The bacteria used to make it ferment the lactose, which gives milk its familiar taste and texture.
Regular consumption of yogurt, which is rich in probiotics, can reduce the risk of contracting a viral infection. Probiotics are those live bacteria that help the body to deal with various diseases. Including them in your diet will help your digestive system function better. Bulgarian probiotics also help with skin irritations, food allergies and even oral hygiene. The benefits of these bacteria are countless and this is an easy way to get them.
Let's recall some benefits of using probiotic products:
