Many thanks, Vee! Got this after it was mentioned onlist as helpful. Co-op

warehouse catalog unfortunately doesn't list ingredients. Main purpose in

incorporating it into yogurt culturing is to get more probiotics than

commercial starters and get an active, continuous, not sure if predigested

food

source. Have tried commercial sauerkrauts from lactic enzymes and homemade.

Haven't tried kimchi. Get burning feeling in my intestines, my digestion slows

to nearly constipate me and I retain water like I did 30 years ago when I gave

up regular salt when retaining water in my first pregnancy. This is even with

French sea salt. Lacto fermented seems to be out for me. Working on increasing

potassium and to find a food not a supplement that will work to compensate for

my intolerance.

Although the quality of the organisms will vary from starter to starter,

the number of organisms in the final yoghurt depends more on the

fermentation time and temperature (and the lactose content of the original

dairy) than on the particular acidophilus strains used. I'd say that,

barring any sensitivity to particular strains and excepting of course those

with undesirable ingredients like maltodextrin, you can go ahead and use

any old starter you like based just on the taste of the final result

without the probiotic effect suffering any.
