Labaneh, a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine, is a creamy, tangy strained yogurt often enjoyed as a spread or dip. Made by removing whey from full-fat or low-fat yogurt, it achieves a thick, luscious texture ideal for pairing with olive oil, fresh herbs, and bread. Originating from Levantine traditions, Labaneh is rich in probiotics, which support gut health, and provides essential nutrients like calcium, protein, and vitamins. While its moderate fat content contributes to its satiating properties, choosing low-fat versions can reduce calorie intake. Labaneh is low in added sugars and works well in a balanced diet. However, store-bought varieties might contain added salt or preservatives, so homemade options can be a healthier alternative. Versatile and flavorful, Labaneh not only enhances dishes but also offers nutritional benefits when consumed in moderation.
