‘Vegurt’ innovation: New cultures developed for fermented plant bases A new line of cultures for the plant-based yogurt – or ‘vegurt’ – category has been developed by Chr. Hansen.
Named the Vega Culture Kit, Chr. Hansen’s range of starter cultures, probiotics and bioprotective strains respond to growing demand for plant-based yogurt alternatives – otherwise known as ‘vegurts’.
New cultures for the ‘vegurt’ category
With plant-based yogurt considered more climate-friendly than its dairy counterpart, consumption is on the rise.
‘Vegurt’ – a term coined by the Danish ingredients supplier – is produced from vegan milk alternatives, which are, in turn, predominantly made from nuts, cereals, legumes, or seeds.
