yogurt

Tangy dairy snack

Yogurt is a thick, creamy dairy product made by fermenting milk with bacterial cultures.

The fermentation process gives yogurt its characteristic tangy flavor and smooth texture.

It can be eaten plain or flavored with fruit, honey, or other additions, and serves as both a standalone food and an ingredient in cooking.

Greek yogurt is strained to remove whey, resulting in a thicker consistency and higher protein content.
