Dirk · Vegan Yogurt Starter Kit customerReal kitchens. Real homemade yogurt. Meet our wider yogurt-making community; these photos show a variety of cultures, including dairy yogurts.
EVERY CULTURE WE MAKE IS FOOD-SAFETY TESTED.
A MOM'S REASON. OUR STANDARD SINCE 2002.
Cultures for Health was founded in 2002 by a single mom who wanted to feed her children the best food she could.
That care still shapes what we make. Food-safety testing is a meaningful investment, and one we keep making for the families who bring our cultures home.

This was my first attempt at making vegan yogurt and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. The end result was also very tasty for a first try. Will make a few tweaks on the next batch and should get it just right !
Used in conjunction with Pomona’s pectin for coconut yogurt. Worked well and tasted great but when combined with the price of the coconut milk was far too expensive to buy again. The included thermometer wasn’t accurate and I used my own digital one.
I have a terrible time working with live cultures like yeast. Since this was my first attempt at making yogurt I did not have high hopes, but it worked out! I made cashew yogurt from homemade cashew milk.
Thank you so much for the step-by-step instructions! Now I can make coconut milk yogurt at home, know exactly what goes in my yogurt, and save money!
Product is fine powder in packets. Brief, easy instructions and good outcome.
Before you start.
Four packets of vegan yogurt starter culture, one pocket test thermometer, one cotton nut milk bag, one box of Pomona's Pectin, and instructions. Packaging and equipment may look different than pictured.
Non-dairy milk, a suitable jar or culturing container, a pot and a yogurt maker or similar appliance that maintains the temperature. A blender is optional for homemade milk.
The guide starts with additive-free soy milk. The kit description also suggests coconut and other non-dairy milks; follow the pectin instructions for the milk you choose.
The current interactive guide uses one packet per quart. The kit includes four packets; use a fresh packet for each batch.
The starter contains soy; soybeans are used as fermentation nutrients. It may contain trace amounts of gluten from a barley fermentation nutrient. It is manufactured in a facility that also produces products containing soy and dairy. Check the package for all ingredient and allergen details.
You need a yogurt maker or similar appliance able to maintain the culturing temperature. The included thermometer helps you check it.
Refrigerate or freeze the starter and use it by the date on the bag.
Free standard shipping is available on qualifying orders over $49.99 to the contiguous U.S.; other rates are calculated at checkout.
