Did you know?

Yogurt is arguably one of the most well-known fermented foods, produced by a process known as lacto-fermentation. The milk sugar lactose is converted into lactic acid by way of specific bacterial strains like Lactobacillus bulgaricus, and it is this process gives yogurt products their thickness and alluringly sour flavor.

Whenever I find myself with more yogurt on hand than I know what to do with, I head right over to this list and pick one to make. There's a little for everyone here, from savory to sweet, and as promised they're all super easy to make. If you're specifically looking for Greek yogurt recipes, that collection is great too. And if you'd like to try another collection of fermented food recipes, definitely check out these recipes with sauerkraut or recipes with miso next. They're so good!
