Salty sweet: Vegetable yoghurt for Body Temple fans

12 : 05 : 2014 Body Temples : Snacks : Yoghurt

New York – Dan Barber is known as being one of the first to champion farm-to-table dining. This year his company Blue Hill launched its own line of yoghurts, but made from vegetable rather than fruit purée.

The Blue Hill range includes beet (beetroot), butternut squash, carrot, sweet potato, parsnip and tomato flavours. While Barber has been serving these flavours at his Blue Hill restaurant for a while – indeed, many restaurants experiment with savoury yoghurts and ice creams – the Blue Hill line is for everyday consumers, who can put the yoghurts in their baskets while shopping at Whole Foods Market.

The yoghurts are made from 30% vegetable purée and have an earthy sweetness that comes from the ingredients. ‘Ours have a fraction of the sugar, but are only slightly less sweet than regular yoghurt because you have the sweetness from the vegetables,’ says Barber.

As people become increasingly health-conscious, going to juice bars and subscribing to the Body Temples lifestyle, traditionally sweet cuisines are getting a health makeover.
