Healthy Foods: Yoghurt


YOGHURT







If you are not sure what these posts are, read this



A little bit of History:

Made by adding lactic acid bacteria to milk, yoghurt is a fermented dairy product with a slightly sour, but mild flavour. Its original Turkish name, Yoghurmak, means 'to thicken' and it has been consumed in Middle Eastern, Asian and Eastern European countries for centuries.

Benefits:

Live yoghurt provides the most benefits - the bacterial cultures boost your immune system and help maintain healthy digestion. As well as being a good source of calcium, it also contains vitamins B2, B5 and B12, biotin, zinc, selenum, potassium and protein - a combination of nutrients that makes it a complete health supporting food.


Tips:
  • Spoon your yoghurt into tomato and vegetable soups and stir
  • use as a breakfast topping, with crushed nuts and honey on muesli or fruit salads
  • Server with a sprig of mint as a side dish to help cool down a red hot curry
  • Mix with water and sugar to make the Indian drinking yoghurt lassi, or use to thicken fruit smoothies
