Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 From Stonyfield's site Does freezing yogurt destroy or alter the effectiveness of the live cultures? You can freeze a cup of yogurt. A cup of yogurt that has been frozen and thawed will have a different look and texture than fresh yogurt. The cultures become dormant when frozen, but once thawed either in the refrigerator or by your body heat when ingested; they will become live and active once again. There will be a few cultures that do die, but there are so many billions in our products, that it is truly insignificant. http://www.stonyfield.com/Wellness/Faqs.cfm Dannon says their yogurt will suffer damage by freezing so I'm wondering if only certain brands freeze better than others. http://www.dannon.com/dn/dnstore/cgi-bin/ProdSubEV_Cat_240859_SubCat_241516_ NavRoot_200_NavID_241661.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you might lose some goodies, but still have enough for starting a new batch. Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
