Plain yogurt is a versatile dairy product made by fermenting milk with live bacterial cultures, resulting in its distinct tangy flavor and creamy texture. Originating from ancient cultures in the Middle East and South Asia, yogurt is now widely enjoyed worldwide as a staple in cooking, snacks, and desserts. Nutritionally, plain yogurt is rich in protein, calcium, and probiotics, which support gut health and strengthen bones. It is naturally low in sugar compared to flavored varieties, making it a healthier choice for those monitoring their sugar intake. Plain yogurt also offers vitamins such as B12 and riboflavin, contributing to overall energy and cellular health. However, its fat content can vary depending on whether it is made from whole, low-fat, or non-fat milk, so portion sizes and varieties should align with individual dietary needs. Its simplicity makes it an excellent base for both savory and sweet dishes.
