What it is
Plain yogurt is a dairy product made by fermenting milk with specific live bacterial cultures, typically *Lactobacillus bulgaricus* and *Streptococcus thermophilus*. This fermentation process thickens the milk and gives it a tangy flavor. It can be made from various types of milk, including cow, goat, or sheep milk.
Why it's used
Plain yogurt is used as a base for dips, sauces, and dressings, and as a topping for various dishes. Manufacturers use it for its creamy texture, tangy flavor, and nutritional content. It is also a common ingredient in baked goods and breakfast items.
Health notes
Plain yogurt is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein, calcium, and probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria that may support gut health. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated yogurt and its components. Evidence suggests that regular consumption of yogurt may be associated with a lower risk of certain health issues, but more research is needed to confirm these associations.
Allergen info
Plain yogurt is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
