starters -- another question

April 30, 2007

I think it was recently posted that the yogourmet starter is less expensive, but

is made from cow dairy, and the other one (the name escapes me!) is free of

dairy and costs more. The third option is to use Dannon plain yogurt as a

starter -- is that correct? Is that the most economical way to go? My son has

never reacted to dairy. What most concerns me is having starters shipped to the

desert where we live. Picking up Dannon at the grocery store might make the

most sense for us.

Yes, you can use Dannon plain and natural yogurt as starter for

yogurt.

It depends on what it costs to buy the Dannon locally and what it

costs to have the other shipped to you. I just received my freeze

dried Lyosan starter in the mail. It isn't refrigerated and took

about 4 days to get here. I have never had a problem with it being

effective after shipping. For me the ProGurt is the most economical

including shipping. Per batch of yogurt it is the cheapest.
