About Plain low-fat yogurt

Plain low-fat yogurt is a versatile dairy product known for its creamy texture and tangy flavor. Made from milk and live active cultures, it has been strained to reduce fat content while retaining essential nutrients. Originating from ancient culinary traditions, yogurt is a staple in many cuisines, including Mediterranean, Indian, and Middle Eastern, where it is used in sauces, marinades, and desserts. Nutritionally, it is an excellent source of protein, calcium, and probiotics, which support digestive health and strengthen bones. Low-fat versions offer these benefits while reducing saturated fat intake, making them a heart-healthy choice for many. However, some plain yogurts may contain natural sugars, so portion control is recommended. Its neutral flavor makes it ideal for sweet or savory pairings, offering a nutritious foundation for smoothies, dips, or even a snack on its own.
