Yes, heat can kill the live cultures in buttermilk. Probiotics, such as Lactobacillus and other beneficial bacteria, are sensitive to high temperatures. When buttermilk is exposed to heat, these live cultures can be destroyed, reducing the probiotic benefits. It’s best to consume buttermilk cold or at room temperature to preserve its beneficial bacteria.

How do you use buttermilk as a treatment for your septic tank?
Buttermilk can be used as a natural treatment for septic tanks due to its live bacterial cultures, which help break down solids and organic matter. To use it, simply pour a quart of buttermilk down the toilet or directly into the septic tank. This can help enhance the microbial activity in the tank, promoting better digestion of waste and potentially improving overall system function. However, it's important to consult with a septic system professional for tailored advice and maintenance practices.

Does freezing yogurt kill the live cultures?
Yes and no. Not all yogurts are created equal. Freezing yogurt does not destroy the cultures. Frozen yogurt with the Live and Active Cultures (LAC) seal will have at least 10 million live and active cultures per gram of yogurt at the time of manufacture. However, the LAC seal program is voluntary, so some frozen yogurts without the seal may also contain active cultures.

What are live cultures?
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.
