Yogurt Dated 4-22-05

Would a sealed container of plain Dannon yogurt, a month past its use-by
date, still be okay to eat? I suspect it is, but I want to make sure
before I eat the stuff.

Thanks,
Carol

Does it have fur? Or blue and pink stuff on top? If not, it should be
OK. In other words, it's OK unless it's obviously not.

Best regards,
Bob

I had some last week from an previously opened container that was older than
that :-)

No fur coat. 🙂 I'm happily eating a bowl of it, flavored with Da Vinci
sugar-free vanilla syrup and some cinnamon. My favorite way to eat yogurt.

Thanks, Bob!

And we've both lived to tell the tale! How 'bout that?

Unless it's green with fur, absolutely. It's sour to start with.

I keep plain Yogurt way past the printed date and unless it is
discolored, it is fine. Aren't there thingies in it that kill off
everything harmful?

My favorite way to eat it is plain over fresh fruit. That was the way
we ate it as children. It was a favorite treat at this time of year,
served in dairies all over the city. It was called Tutti Frutti for
some unknown reason, but consisted of wild strawberries and
wonderfully creamy Yoghourt, not the low fat stuff of today. That was
what we would eat when it was available, sometimes sharing one dish
with several friends when only one of us had enough money. We never
told our mothers, thinking it was so delicious, it had to be bad for
us. :o)

if you store yogurt/cottage cheese/sour cream upside down, they last
longer. my favorite yogurt goes too quickly for that, though! (seven
stars farm maple flavor. yum.....)

Putting yogurt over frozen berries, mixed or other, is great, too. Sort of
like ice cream because it makes the yogurt so cold. You can even stick the
bowl of yogurt and berries in the freezer for 15 minutes and make it colder.
I it is too sour, a little honey is good mixed in or over it. Yum -

You have the best stories, Margaret! I use regular yogurt, too. I'm going
to have to try this Tutti Frutti soon. 🙂

Thanks everyone for your reassurances!

I'll give that a try. We never go through enough sour cream to finish the
container. I'm like you. I'm a yogurt fiend, just haven't been eating it
lately.

Great idea! Especially with summer coming up. I get hungry for ice cream,
and this sounds like just the ticket. Hmmm, frozen black cherries and a
little rum extract ...

its good, but has no pectin, just milk and bacteria, so it is thinner
than most yogurts. they make a lowfat version, but whatever 🙂

Why not eat ice cream instead? Essentially the same nutritional profile,
and ice cream tastes much better!

I used to keep plain yoghurt on hand for thins like tzitikis <sp?> and Tandoori
marinate and it got pretty old sometimes. I used to buy fruit yoghurt for eating,
but the only kind that wasn't disgusting was the peach. I stopped getting that
stuff and now just eat the plain stuff, usually with fruit, sometimes with a few
drops of honey in it to knock the edge off it.

I'll take the yogurt and fruit because I feel yogurt is a better nutritional
value - for me -- on a steady basis.
I generally eat ice cream outside the home where I can choose an
"Ashley's" or 'Cold Farm" costing me an arm and a leg, then I don't have to
worry about eating the rest of what's in the freezer -- which is not a good
thing. But yogurt icey-cold is a really good substitute and makes one feel
so self-righteous.

One reason is that yogurt contains "good bacteria" that are helpful for
digstive health. Another might be that you can control the amount of
sugar, that is assuming starting with plain yogurt and not the flavored
ones that are already half sugar. And taste, many people (including me)
like the complex taste of fermented milk products such as yogurt and
buttermilk.

Having been raised on a farm, and being sensitive to the yuk factor of milk,
beef & eggs, yogurt was not exactly something I relished the thought of
eating. But when yogurt came so available (with FRUIT IN THE BOTTOM!!!) I
ate my share of it while being employed. Not until the last year or so
after finding Stonyfield Farms yogurt, have I learned to love plain yogurt.
http://www.stonyfield.com/ Now if I'm somewhere and want to pick up a small
pack in a 7-11, I don't know how I ever forced myself to eat yogurt in the
past. If you see it, try it. I'm not much on flavored yogurt, but their
vanilla flavored is quite good with fruit. The texture of the vanilla is not
as good, but the flavor is fine.
