Yoghurt - in particular Greek yoghurt - is widely recognised as a health food due to its beneficial nutrients and probiotics. It is a versatile ingredient that can be added to a variety of wholesome meals. Eaten by millions across the globe, yoghurt is a fermented food made by mixing milk with live bacteria (probiotics). This good bacteria transforms the milk's natural sugar (lactose) into lactic acid which thickens the milk, giving yoghurt its distinctive texture and tangy flavour. Because of these popular wellness benefits, consumer demand for yoghurt is higher than ever1.
