-Very Sour Curd
-This classification is purely based on the probiotic culture growth on the curd and the age of the curd
-Each curd has different benefits to your health and used for treating different ailments
- Very Sour Curd is the most beneficial curd to our body as it increases the digestive fire /biological fire /Agni that exists in your body
- Proper balance of the digestive fire is key for maintaining good gut health

-Packet curd is not curd at first instance as it is formed by monoculture of single microbial culture rather varied microbial culture like how it is made at home
-This is done to ensure curd is not turning sour so fast and limits the culture growth & long shelf life
- Another method is coagulating the milk or cheese to curd using a enzyme called "Rennet "
