What Is Mount Kenya Milk Probiotic Yoghurt?
- Mount Kenya Probiotic yoghurt is made by fermenting milk with live bacterial cultures. In addition to the standard yoghurt cultures (Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus), it contains added probiotic strains such as Lactobacillus acidophilus or Bifidobacterium.
- Difference from regular yoghurt: While all yoghurt contains bacteria, not all are probiotics. Probiotics are specific strains that survive digestion and provide health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts.
