Yogurt is a creamy, tangy dairy product made by fermenting milk with beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Streptococcus. Originating from ancient Middle Eastern and South Asian cuisines, it has become a staple in diets worldwide. Rich in protein, calcium, and probiotics, yogurt supports bone health, digestion, and gut microbiome balance. It can be enjoyed plain or with added fruits, nuts, or sweeteners. Greek yogurt stands out for its thicker texture and higher protein content, while non-dairy alternatives cater to those with lactose intolerance. Though yogurt is generally nutritious, flavored varieties often contain added sugars that can diminish health benefits. Opt for plain or low-sugar options to maximize its advantages. Versatile in both sweet and savory recipes, yogurt remains an accessible and wholesome food choice.
