Low-fat yogurt is a dairy product made by fermenting milk with live bacterial cultures, typically Lactobacillus and Streptococcus. Originating in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, yogurt has been enjoyed globally for its tangy flavor and creamy texture. Low-fat varieties are specifically processed to remove a significant portion of milk fat, making it lighter in calories compared to regular yogurt. It’s an excellent source of protein, calcium, and probiotics, which support bone health and gut microbiota balance. The reduced fat content makes it suitable for those watching their calorie intake or aiming to lower dietary saturated fat. However, some low-fat yogurts may contain added sugars to compensate for the reduced richness, potentially impacting overall health. For the healthiest option, choose unsweetened or lightly sweetened versions and pair with fresh fruits or nuts for natural sweetness and added nutrients.
