Yogurt is a healthy food alternative that is both nutritious and delicious in taste. And making this product accessible and easy to prepare is what EasiYo yogurt makers have in mind.
Benefits of Yogurt
A cup of yogurt a day gives 47.5% of our daily recommended calcium intake, which we need to fight osteoporosis and to have stronger bones and teeth. It is also rich in protein, about 30% more than what milk can deliver. Yogurt is also rich in vitamins like B-2, B-12, Potassium and Magnesium.
But, how much does a cup of yogurt cost in the local market? Have you ever think of making your own yogurt at home?
EasiYo Launched
NomNom Club was recently invited to have a first-hand experience of New Zealand’s do-it-yourself yogurt system that has arrived in the Philippines. The event was held at the Global Culinary and Hospitality Center located along Jupiter Street, Makati, Philippines.
Present at the said event was EasiYo Brand Ambassador Chef China Cojuanco. She was joined by Ms. Josie Paule, President and Country Manager of Cambert Philippines. She also showed us three easy way of making our own yogurt using the EasiYo system.
Three EasiYo Steps:
- Half-fill EasiYo jar with cold water. Add contents of sachet and mix. Fill jar with cold water and mix again.
- Put red regulator in Yogurt Maker. Pour boiling water up to the top of the regulator. Place EasiYo jar inside.
- Let the yogurt set for 12-24 hours. Remove from Yogurt Maker and chill. Makes 1 kg/1 liter of fresh yogurt.
