Sweet and sour yogurt, many babies like, but choose yogurt, can not only look at the advertisement.
First of all, it is necessary to figure out what is fermented milk and what is flavored fermented milk.
According to the requirements of the national standard, the protein content of fermented milk is ≥ 2.9%, and the protein content of flavored fermented milk is ≥ 2.3%. The relatively high protein content on the market can reach 6%.
Fermented milk (yogurt) is a food rich in calcium and high-quality protein, it retains most of the nutrients in milk, and most importantly, it tastes good, so it has become a food that Bao Mom often buys.
So what is "flavored fermented milk"? Milk or milk powders exceed 80% with the addition of food additives, nutraceuticals, fruits and vegetables or cereals, and a protein content of ≥ 2.3%. In other words, adding juice, fruit grains, malt, coconut fruit, etc. to yogurt is flavored fermented milk.
In simple terms, let's see if there is a word "flavor", and fermented milk without flavor can be considered as a truly original yogurt. Fermented milk with "flavor" is just for a better taste, or to add more selling points.
It should be noted here that some products, even if they are nominally "original" and "old yogurt", are actually flavored fermented milk.
Most yogurts on the market are flavored fermented milk with a high sugar content.
Secondly, can yogurt made of restorative milk be drunk in the end?
Yogurt made of reconstituted milk refers to yogurt made by adding milk powder and water to make milk liquid, and then inoculating lactic acid bacteria.
If it is a restorative milk, it will be required to be marked on the outer packaging of the product, and the general advertiser will write it in an inconspicuous place.
The nutritional value of yogurt made with reconstituted milk is similar to that of yogurt made with pure milk. The quality of its products mainly depends on the quality of raw milk powder.
If the milk powder used in making yogurt has a higher quality, a lower content of antibiotics, a higher concentration, and a flower with a good fermentation effect, in fact, the yogurt made, the content of protein, calcium, and vitamins will never be worse than that of yogurt made with fresh milk.
Finally, how to choose healthy yogurt for children to drink?
It's actually very simple, we just need to grasp two points, the first is better nutrition, and the second is less sugar.
We can look at the ingredient list and choose the ingredient list to put raw milk first, which is the real yogurt.
On supermarket shelves, there are often some "suspected" yogurt things, but in fact they are not yogurt, but a drink with the words "drink" or "drink" printed on it. At the top of their ingredient list is water.
Remember, real yogurt, its protein content must be > 2.3%.
The sugar content of this lactic acid bacteria drink is often higher, and it is easy to gain weight when drinking too much.
Then choose yogurt with little sugar or no sugar. Or look at the packaging, the product category on the packaging shows as "fermented milk" is sugar-free yogurt.
And if you choose sugar-free yogurt, the mothers are worried about the bad taste, children do not like to drink, here to pay attention to some high-quality yogurt can be less sugar or sugar-free, but also have a mellow taste.
However, it can also be based on their own needs, if you want to use yogurt for calcium supplementation every day, then you still choose a product close to the original fermented milk, from which to choose a product with high protein and less sugar content.
If you only treat yogurt as a snack and eat it once in a while, you can choose some flavored fermented milk with relatively few additives, good quality raw milk and moderate sugar content according to your taste preferences.
The business value of yogurt does not lose milk, the taste is better than milk, and it is more friendly to people who are lactose intolerant. But the benefits are also these, do not be affected by business advertising, there are many other unrealistic expectations of yogurt. Moms who love yogurt in the family, have you chosen the right one?
