Plain low-fat yogurt is a versatile dairy product made by fermenting milk with live active cultures, such as Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. Originating from ancient culinary traditions, yogurt is prominent in cuisines worldwide, including Mediterranean, Indian, and Middle Eastern dishes. This variety, with reduced fat content, retains its creamy texture and tangy flavor, offering a healthier alternative to full-fat options. Rich in protein, calcium, and probiotics, plain low-fat yogurt supports muscle repair, bone health, and gut microbiome balance. It’s also relatively low in calories, making it a suitable choice for weight management. However, its natural tartness can lead to added sugars in flavored alternatives, so opting for plain yogurt helps avoid unnecessary sweeteners. Whether enjoyed on its own, as a base for sauces, or in smoothies, plain low-fat yogurt is a wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
