What is a yogurt starter and how to make it at home?
Yoghurt is a fermented food and is made using friendly bacteria. Therefore, for the yogurt to form, a certain amount of friendly bacteria is required. Yogurt starters help the yoghurt form, as they have a blend of lactose consuming bacteria that converts the milk in the yoghurt starter to form lactic acid. Each yoghurt starter will have a different blend of bacteria and therefore, each bowl of yoghurt you make will vary in flavor and thickness.
