Episode 325: Bulgarian Yogurt: The Ancient Culture That Changed Everything
03 Aug 2025
There’s a powerful story behind the creamy, tangy yogurt that originated in the mountains of Bulgaria. In this episode, I’ll share the fascinating legend of how Bulgarian yogurt healed a king, the science that won a Nobel Prize, and the probiotic strains—like Lactobacillus bulgaricus—that make this yogurt one of the most healing fermented foods you can eat. I’ll also explain how you can make it at home with my favorite starters, and why it’s become a daily staple in my kitchen (and heart).
