First of all, we should give priority to the original yogurt or traditional old yogurt. Generally, this kind of yogurt does not add any essence, thickener and coagulant. It is the most natural yogurt with the highest quality requirements for milk sources, so it has the highest nutrition. However, some yogurts in supermarkets now use many additives under the name of original yogurts. Therefore, when purchasing plain yogurt, you should pay attention to the ingredient list, and the fewer kinds of raw materials, the better.
Traditional old yogurt is solid yogurt, which is made by pouring fresh milk directly into porcelain or glass containers for fermentation. Yogurt made by this method is a special gel state of milk protein without any coagulant. This kind of yogurt has less additives, higher milk quality, shorter time from production to sales, so it is fresher. However, a new generation of old yogurt should be careful. This kind of old yogurt is added with gelatin, agar, carrageenan and other plant gums. Although it has no obvious toxicity to human body, it reduces the requirements for yogurt milk source and its nutritional value will be discounted. Moreover, eating too many additives for a long time is not good for health, especially children's metabolic ability is weak, and they should eat less. Therefore, when you buy old yogurt, you should pay special attention to the ingredient list and whether a coagulant has been added. At the same time, the real old yogurt can turn the seemingly solid gel into liquid milk as long as it is stirred a little hard.
Secondly, skim yogurt similar to original yogurt can also be purchased appropriately. The difference between skim yogurt and plain yogurt is that there is less fat, and the fat contained is below 1%. Therefore, this kind of yogurt is more suitable for people with three highs and old people who often drink yogurt.
Another kind of Poria cocos yogurt, as a traditional health yogurt, can also be purchased according to physical fitness. Poria cocos has the effects of promoting diuresis, eliminating dampness, strengthening the spleen, harmonizing the middle energizer, calming the heart and calming the nerves. Yogurt contains a lot of active lactic acid bacteria, which helps digestion. Poria cocos and yogurt complement each other and have a certain conditioning effect on gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by dampness. But be careful not to eat on an empty stomach.
Finally, some kinds of yogurt should be bought less. The first is fruit granules and fruity yogurt. This kind of yogurt is sour and sweet, and it is also known as "fruit nutrition", which is very popular with people. In fact, there are very few real fruit grains, and almost all of its ingredients come from the added jam. In order to show the taste of fruit, this yogurt will add more additives such as sugar and essence.
Recently, there is a new kind of "cereal yogurt" which is very eye-catching. This kind of yogurt is made by adding various miscellaneous grains such as beans, oats, wheat and corn or its thick pulp. In fact, it is more starch, which does not have much nutrition, but it is more suitable for occasional hunger. In a hurry morning, a box of cereal yogurt can increase satiety and prolong the time to maintain energy.
