Like maple syrup, raw honey is a natural unrefined sugar and adds the right amount of sweetness to cut the tart flavour of plain yogurt. In the natural food section of most grocery stores you can find fruit jam that has been naturally sweetened with fruit juice, not refined sugar. You can also make my homemade chia seed jam! If you want to go with a sugar-free option, adding liquid or granulated stevia is a great way to go.
When it comes to making plain yogurt actually taste good, along with a natural sweetener such as those I listed above, fresh or frozen fruit is a perfect addition! Berries including raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries are all lower sugar fruits and have a nice touch of sweetness that compliments the tart yogurt.
Other fantastic fruit options include peaches also naturally low in sugar , pineapple, mango, and kiwi. Here are some great ideas:. Which of these flavour combinations will you try first?

Our homemade yogurt does not last long enough in the fridge to get to the point where it becomes too tart for our taste; it is eaten way before that happens! Commercial yogurt will not continue to culture in your fridge since the culture bacteria have all been destroyed to extend the shelf-life of the product. In commercial yogurts, plain yogurt will taste more sour than flavored yogurts because sugar is added to any commercial yogurt that has fruit or flavoring added to it.
The added sugar reduces the sour taste of the yogurt. It is certainly possible for yogurt, both homemade and commercial, to go bad.
So what are the tel-tale signs that your yogurt is starting to get to the point where you should not consume it? Good yogurt has a clean, fresh taste and smell.
Even though the flavor is sour, it is not the same type of sour as milk that has gone bad. Milk that has gone bad has an offensive smell that makes you not want to consume it. Basically, the proteins have started to break down, and the milk has started to rot.
Yogurt is a fermented culture that uses specific bacteria, which is not the same bacteria that cause rotting or degradation and causes dairy products to go bad. When yogurt goes bad, it loses its clean, fresh taste and begins to taste musty. Soon after this, it will start to develop yeasts and molds that will grow on the surface of the yogurt, and they will be visible to the eye.
The mold can be white in color but will form a type of crust on the surface. Your nose will also tell you that it is not good to eat. The smell will be a more rotten milk type of smell rather than the clean, fresh smell of yogurt. When you smell this, you will know that this is not something you want to put into your mouth. Homemade yogurt will last at least seven days in your fridge but can last up to fourteen days.
You should take care to not double-dip with a spoon in your yogurt. Do not taste the yogurt with a spoon and then put the same spoon from your mouth into the yogurt again. Rather dish up some of the yogurt into a bowl from which you can eat.
Double-dipping will introduce additional bacteria or bad bacteria from your mouth into the yogurt and can cause it to go bad. Commercial yogurt will have a longer shelf-life in your fridge if it is unopened. However, when opened, it will have about the same lifespan in your fridge as homemade yogurt. This is because it will be exposed to the same air and potential contaminants as anything else in your fridge. Skip to content. April 28, thanh. It is a culture of milk sour.
