Turkish yoghurt, known as "yoğurt," is a creamy and nutrient-rich staple in Turkish cuisine, celebrated for its versatility and health benefits. Made from fermented milk, typically cow's or sheep's, it undergoes a natural fermentation process using live bacterial cultures, which contribute to its tangy flavor and thick texture. Packed with protein, calcium, and probiotics, Turkish yoghurt supports muscle growth, bone health, and digestive wellness. Its probiotic content boosts gut health and strengthens the immune system, making it an integral part of a balanced diet. While traditionally unsweetened, it is free of added sugars, making it a wholesome choice. It’s often enjoyed as a savory side dish, in marinades, sauces, or even sweetened with honey and fruits. However, portion control is key, as excessive consumption may contribute to calorie intake. Whether used in traditional dishes like cacık or eaten plain, Turkish yoghurt embodies nourishment and tradition alike.
