What it is
This is a plain, lowfat yogurt made by Lucerne Dairy Farms. It is a fermented milk product, meaning it has undergone a process where beneficial bacteria are used to convert lactose into lactic acid. This gives yogurt its characteristic tangy flavor and thick texture. It is a versatile dairy item suitable for various culinary applications.
How people cook with it
Plain yogurt can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. Its mild tanginess complements many flavors.

You can enjoy this yogurt straight from the container, perhaps with a drizzle of honey or fresh fruit. It is also excellent blended into smoothies with your favorite fruits and vegetables. For cooking, it can be stirred into sauces or used as a base for dips and dressings.
