Plain yogurt is a creamy, fermented dairy product made from milk and live bacterial cultures, typically Lactobacillus and Streptococcus thermophilus. Originating from ancient cuisines in the Middle East, South Asia, and Eastern Europe, it has become a staple in global diets. Plain yogurt is rich in protein, calcium, and probiotics, which support digestive health and bolster the immune system. It contains no added sugars, making it healthier than flavored varieties, though its tart taste might not appeal to everyone. It's versatile in cooking and commonly used in smoothies, dips, marinades, or eaten plain. Opt for low-fat or non-fat versions if monitoring calorie intake, as full-fat plain yogurt contains higher amounts of saturated fats. Overall, its nutrient density and adaptability make it a wholesome choice for both savory and sweet recipes.
