Homemade yogurt is a creamy, nutrient-packed dairy product made by fermenting milk with beneficial live cultures. Originating in Middle Eastern and South Asian cuisines, its simplicity and versatility have made it a staple worldwide. The process involves heating milk, cooling it to a specific temperature, and introducing active bacterial cultures that convert lactose into lactic acid, giving yogurt its tangy flavor and thick texture. Homemade yogurt is free from preservatives, sweeteners, or additives commonly found in store-bought versions, offering a pure and wholesome option. Rich in probiotics, calcium, protein, and vitamins, it supports gut health, bone strength, and immune function. However, it can vary in fat content depending on the type of milk used. For a lighter alternative, low-fat or nonfat milk can be substituted. Homemade yogurt’s cultural significance and health benefits make it a versatile and nourishing choice for meals, snacks, or creative recipes.
