Yogurt

Yogurt was first created hundreds of years ago in the Middle East when nomads fermented milk from animals to preserve it. It was likely discovered accidentally when milk was heated over a fire and the natural bacteria turned it sour. Today, yogurt is made by introducing cultures to pasteurized milk that produce lactic acid, changing the milk into yogurt. Yogurt provides protein and calcium while being easier to digest than milk. It also supports colon and immune health. Common types of yogurt include set, stirred, drinking, frozen, and flavored varieties.

All About Yogurt!

Stacy Greaver

History of Yogurt
1st made hundreds of years ago in the
middle east my nomads.
Fermented milk from animals and turned it
into yogurt to eat.
Probably discovered by someone trying to
heat milk to preserve it over a fire. The
natural bacteria turned the milk sour
making it a type of yogurt.
