I hope noone thinks that I am some kind of moron, but I have a question:ohwell: ...
You know that 'stuff' on the top of the yogurt when you open it up? The watery-milky stuff? WHAT IS IT? Is it important for your health? I dump it down the sink and eat the yogurt. Looking at it kind of grosses me out, but if I am missing out on something that I NEED then I will swallow it down with a smile! Thank you for your help! :blushing:

    I think its just separation of the yogurt...I stir it in, but agree that its gross.....

    It's separation and I think a little condensation as well. I dump it off as well...

    I don't think there's anything important in it. Mostly just the water in the yogurt separating. Sour cream does the same thing.

    if it is real yogurt (less sugar, more live cultures) then it should be whey liquid. It separates from the rest of the yogurt solids. I stir it in. :)

    I just mix it in, I think it may be liquid whey, as that is what drains off when you put yogurt on a cheese cloth to make yogurt cheese.
