do I need to drip the yogurt?

[Guest guest]

If my child will eat the runny goat yogurt without my dripping it,

do I need to drip it? Is dripping beneficial? Is the liquid whey

harmful?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sally,

If he'll eat the yogurt and tolerates it well you don't have to drip

it.

> Is dripping beneficial?

Dripping can be beneficial if you

1.) want a thicker yogurt or want yogurt cheese.

2.) react to the proteins that may be in the water.

>Is the liquid whey harmful?

It isn't quite liquid whey. The fluid is the water that comes from

the hydrolysis (breaking apart)of lactose by the bacteria. There is

no lactose (or shouldn't be if probably prepared) but it may contain

some whey protein which some people are sensitive to.

So if he likes it and has no problem enjoy it as it is.
