You can eat it straight from the container as a healthy snack or a light meal. For a savory application, it can stand in for sour cream or plain yogurt in dips, dressings, and marinades. Its firm texture also makes it a good base for creating creamy sauces or as a topping for baked goods. Consider mixing in fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness and texture.
