Dannon Nonfat Yogurt
What it is
This is a cultured dairy product made from milk that has had its fat removed. It undergoes a fermentation process using live and active cultures, which gives it a characteristic tangy flavor and thick texture. The absence of fat makes it a lighter option compared to other yogurt varieties. It is a common dairy item found in many refrigerators.
How people cook with it

In cooking, it serves as a healthy substitute for sour cream or mayonnaise in dips and dressings. It can also be blended into smoothies for a creamy texture or used as a base for marinades. When baking, it can contribute moisture and a slight tang to muffins or cakes.
