Dairy products are known as "white blood", and regular intake of dairy products is one of the best forms of supplementation. Fresh milk and yogurt are the two most common dairy products, and what many people don't know is that yogurt is even more nutritious than milk.
After milk is made into yogurt, the nutrients contained in it are not too much loss, and the beneficial bacteria in yogurt have the advantage that milk does not have, and the fermented milk converts part of the lactose into lactic acid, which further reduces the risk of lactose intolerance in some people and is easier to digest and absorb.
But the yogurt on the market is not all theoretically good yogurt, the yogurt market is mixed, some poor quality yogurt, containing raw milk and calcium and other substances are relatively small, lack of yogurt should be nutrition, in the purchase of yogurt to learn to choose, share the method of selecting high-quality yogurt, do not look at the brand and price, recognize the 3 indicators, easy to pick a good yogurt of high quality

According to the relevant national standards, yogurt can be divided into four types: yogurt, fermented milk, flavored yogurt and flavored fermented milk.
1. Yogurt
The raw material of yogurt is raw cow's milk or milk powder, which is made of yogurt after sterilization, inoculation with Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus after fermentation, which is the most natural and closest to the original yogurt.
2. Fermented milk
Fermented milk is a yogurt product that uses raw cattle (sheep) milk as raw material, and after sterilization and fermentation, reduces the PH value, and there is no limit to the flora.
3. Flavored yogurt
Flavored yogurt is based on yogurt, such as food additives, fruits and vegetables, cereals, etc., usually raw cow (sheep) milk or milk powder content of 80%, protein content of 2.3% can be.
4. Flavored fermented milk
Flavored fermented milk is yogurt based on fermented milk with other ingredients added and no restriction on flora.
There is also a kind of fermented milk drink, many friends think that it also belongs to the category of yogurt, but the milk or milk powder ingredients contained in it are very few, plus a variety of food additives, this fermented milk drink can not be regarded as yogurt, called a drink is more appropriate.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="31" > three important indicators for picking good yogurt</h1>
First, look at the ingredient list indicators
When we buy food with packaging, we must develop the habit of looking at the ingredient list, and the ingredients in the general product ingredient list are arranged from more to less, so the ingredient content in the product can be seen at a glance in the ingredient list. High-quality yogurt is usually based on milk as raw material, after pasteurization, the addition of starter culture (beneficial bacteria), fermentation after cooling filling, so the ingredients of high-quality yogurt should be the first milk (raw cow milk), followed by a variety of beneficial bacteria.
We can take a look at the ingredient list of the following two kinds of yogurt, the ingredients of Figure 1 yogurt are relatively simple, and raw milk is ranked first, and the yogurt in Figure 2 is water, not raw milk, and the added sugars and food additives are more than Figure 1, so in general, the quality of Figure 1 yogurt is better than That of Figure 2, which is a more pure yogurt.
The second look is the storage condition indicator
Due to different sterilization methods, the storage method of yogurt is also different, one is that refrigerated storage needs to be refrigerated in the refrigerator, and the shelf life is relatively short, while one is that room temperature storage does not require special storage, and can be placed indoors, and its shelf life is relatively long.
Refrigerated storage usually uses low temperature disinfection, that is, the use of lower temperature (generally at 60 ~ 82 ° C) in a certain period of time, the food is heated to achieve the purpose of killing microbial nutrients, both can kill germs and keep the flavor of nutrients in the article unchanged, so yogurt retains most of the beneficial bacteria, also known as live bacteria yogurt, and the yogurt stored at room temperature uses the high temperature inactivation method, most of which are beneficial bacteria are also inactivated, only a small part of the beneficial bacteria are left, so it is also called sterilized yogurt, Therefore, from the perspective of beneficial bacteria content, it is better to choose yogurt that needs to be refrigerated and preserved.
The third look at the nutrition facts table indicators
When purchasing yogurt, in addition to looking at the ingredient list and storage conditions, you can also look at the nutritional composition list of yogurt, because the raw material of high-quality yogurt is milk, the higher the content of protein in the milk used, the higher the protein content in the processed yogurt, and the yogurt with high protein content should be selected when selecting.
Look at the nutrition composition table of these two kinds of yogurt, from the nutritional composition table of figure three yogurt, it can be seen that the content of protein per 100 grams of yogurt is 3.4 grams, while the content of protein per 100 grams of yogurt in figure four is only 2.7 grams, which shows that the yogurt in figure one is higher than the nutritional value of yogurt in figure two, in addition to looking at the content of protein, you can also look at the content of calcium, under the same conditions, the higher the content of calcium elements, the higher its nutritional value.

Yogurt is divided into solidified type and stirring type, solidified yogurt taste is relatively thick, China's traditional glass bottles and porcelain bottles are solidified yogurt, and people often drink fruit yogurt in life is mixed yogurt, relative to solidified yogurt For the taste is relatively thin, so buy yogurt with different consistency, don't worry, but the production method is different.
