Yogurt is a favorite drink for many children.
Children like sweet and sour things the most, especially for some younger children, yogurt is the favorite of most children.
And there are many parents who think that yogurt is a healthy drink, in fact, when choosing yogurt for their children, parents should also be careful, not every yogurt is suitable for children to drink.
A mother asked: Is there a big difference between flavored fermented milk and original fermented milk?
I believe that many people have such confusion, the same is yogurt, the price of flavored fermented milk is about twice as expensive as the original fermented milk.
Is it possible that flavored fermented milk has twice as many nutrients as original fermented milk? Not really.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the difference between flavored fermented milk and original fermented milk is mainly the following three aspects. </h1>
The ingredients are different: flavored yogurt > plain yogurt
Flavored fermented milk and original fermented milk ingredients are different, although flavored fermented milk is yogurt.
But its ingredients are more complex, adding too many things, such as sweeteners, stabilizers, thickeners and other food additives to enhance the taste of yogurt.
In addition, many flavored yogurts raise the price by adding nuts, fruits, oats, etc. as gimmicks, but in fact, the content of these things is very small, and the flavored yogurt adds more things, but the sugar content is also high.
Therefore, this kind of flavored yogurt is actually not suitable for children who are too small to eat, but the original fermented milk ingredients are relatively simple, and the original yogurt taste is more single, the taste is more sour, and it is more suitable for children.
Different nutrients: plain yogurt > flavored yogurt
Flavored yogurt adds less raw milk and less protein, but the fat and carbohydrates are relatively high, so the nutritional content of flavored yogurt is relatively low.
However, the original yogurt adds nutrients: vitamin B, calcium and probiotics are more, so in terms of nutritional value, the original yogurt must be greater than the flavor yogurt.
Taste: Flavored yogurt > plain yogurt
Flavored yogurt tastes better, because flavored yogurt adds more things, sweetness is heavier, the taste is more delicate, and flavor yogurt tastes more, and the packaging is more fancy, so it is more popular with children.
But the original yogurt taste is very general, the real additive-free original fermented milk is actually many people are not used to eating.
Therefore, the meaning of different "prefixes" is very different, and parents must understand these prefixes to choose a yogurt suitable for their children.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > several misconceptions about choosing yogurt</h1>
Myth 1: Low-temperature yogurt is better than ambient yogurt
Low-temperature yogurt is also called "live yogurt", and ambient yogurt is called "sterile yogurt".
In fact, these two kinds of yogurt have their own advantages, just look at the nutritional content (protein, calcium substances) room temperature yogurt and low temperature yogurt can almost be beaten equally.
But if you want to use yogurt to regulate the intestinal flora, it is better to choose low-temperature yogurt, because low-temperature yogurt can maximize the preservation of probiotic activity.
In order to pursue an ultra-long shelf life and convenient transportation, room temperature yogurt uses pasteurization technology, which is actually not conducive to preserving probiotic activity, so it depends on the demand choice.
The average person who drinks yogurt can actually drink ambient yogurt, but if you need to adjust, drinking low-temperature yogurt is the best choice.
Myth two: Dairy products with the word "sour" are yogurt
Real yogurt is mostly named after fermented milk, yogurt, sour milk, yogurt, yogurt milk, etc.
Like yogurt is a drink, lactic acid bacteria drink, lactic acid drink belongs to the beverage, just a drink with a sour taste, not real yogurt.
In addition, if parents do not distinguish, you can see whether the ingredients are raw milk/milk powder or water first, and most of the water is drinks.
There are too many additives in this lactic acid bacteria beverage, in fact, it is not suitable for children to drink, no nutrition is one, and easy to get fat is the second.
Myth three: the thicker the yogurt, the better
Yogurt thick is not necessarily high in nutrients, it may be that too much thickener has been added, or the processing process is different, so parents must not judge the quality of yogurt according to the thickness or not.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > how should parents choose yogurt for their children? </h1>
Look at ingredients and nutrients
First of all, the first ingredient list is raw milk or cow milk powder, (do not choose the first ingredient for reconstituted milk, the nutritional content is low, and the raw milk contained in the restored milk is very limited, and there are more additives).
Secondly, the real yogurt, the protein content must be higher than 2.3g /100ml.
In terms of fat content, according to the standard original yogurt can not be less than 3.1%, flavor yogurt is not less than 2.5%, it should be noted that high-fat yogurt is not suitable for frequent drinking.
Normal yogurt carbohydrates are about 10%-12%, but now many yogurts have a relatively high sugar content, especially some flavored yogurts, with higher carbohydrate content.
Look at the shelf life of yogurt
Yogurt, like milk, is as fresh as possible.
Therefore, when choosing yogurt, parents must choose a date that is relatively fresh, especially low-temperature yogurt, low-temperature yogurt itself is relatively high in price, and the shelf life is relatively short, at this time parents must carefully choose.
