Guest guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Bruce, The liquid you're dripping off is not " whey " .... it's actually called " water of hydrolosis " or something like that, if memory serves. It's fine to drip it as you are doing.... most of the probiotic will be in the dripped yogurt. I suppose *some* will be in the water.... but my understanding is that most remains in the yogurt. Patti dripped yogurt Does anyone know if dripping the homemade yogurt overnight so that most of the whey is removed and only the curds remain, will make the yogurt less effective? I usually like to drip it thoroughly then add a half a cup of honey to it. You essentially end up with an indian dessert known as shrikhand. But I wonder if the whey contains a lot of the beneficial bacteria, or is it all in the curds? Anyone know? Thanks, Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dripped yogurt is by far the most easily tolerated fermented food, in general. Carol F. SCD 7 years, celiac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
