Re: Yogurt Starter w/o bifidus

[Guest guest]

The two main grocery chains in my area (western NY State) sell both

plain whole milk Dannon and plain whole milk Greek-style Fage (which is really

great yogurt to use as a starter; it’s extremely thick), neither of which have

bifidus. Do you have other food stores besides Whole Foods in your area?

Hi all,

Where do you find plain yogurt (to use as starter) that doesn't have bifidus

in it? Whole Foods doesn't have any plain yogurt w/o bifidus. I just ordered

powdered SCD-approved starter from GIProHealth, but it's quite expensive

doing it that way. Have any of you found a particular brand of yogurt without

bifidus cultures?

Thanks,

The 24 gram bottle makes 64 quarts so at $30 per bottle it's $0.47 per

quart of yogurt. You can find Yogourmet starter as low as $2.59 to

make 6 quarts, or $0.43 per quart. While this may be more expensive

than using commercial yogurt as a start I use Yogourmet for the

following reasons:

- it's exactly the mixture I want

- it's very convenient -- takes almost no refrigerator space and the

shelf life is very long

- I haven't made a bad batch yet

- it isn't *that* expensive :-)
