How to Use Leftover Whey From Yogurt

Whey is the liquid byproduct of yogurt and cheese-making. Although some people throw the whey away, there are many uses for the liquid. Whey has many nutritional ingredients including amino acids, making it worthwhile to keep.

Instructions

Household

1. Use whey to water plants. If you used vinegar as a curdling agent, use the whey to water acid-loving plants only.

2. Add it to bath water to nourish your skin.

3. Water your garden or compost pile with the remaining whey.

Cooking

1. Use it as the liquid in soup stocks in place of water.

2. Soak beans and grain in the whey overnight to soften them, making it faster to prepare them.

3. Use in place of water in baking recipes including bread.

4. Cook pasta and beans in the whey.
