Best Answer

A live culture is a reservoir of intentionally grown micro-organisms. Fermented foods like yogurt and miso contain bacteria or fungi that did the fermenting; if those micro-organisms have not been killed by heat or other subsequent processing (as in bread) or a depletion of their food source or build-up of their waste products (as in Alcoholic Beverages), then the fermented food contains live cultures.

What are some name brand foods with active cultures?

live cultures can be found mostly in foods that were once living or come from animal. a few examples, are meat, bread, cheese, and milk. these are the most common foods that contain live cultures. about milk though, when milk first comes out of the cow, it has plenty of live cultures in it but most milk we drink doesn't. this is because all milk in America is pasteurized. during pasteurization, most live cultures are killed. this might sound good to you but when milk is pasteurized, 75 percent of good bacteria and healthy minerals are killed. this means that it takes three cups of milk to get the value of one unpasteurized cup. if you can find milk that isn't pasteurized, it will have live cultures. back to the subject, cheese, bread and meat are the most common foods that have live cultures because unpasteurized milk is illegal.
