Description

Coconut yogurt is a plant-based dairy product made from the fermentation of coconut milk, ideal for those seeking vegan alternatives or who have lactose intolerance. Its creamy texture and slightly sweet, tropical flavor make it a versatile ingredient for various recipes, from breakfasts and desserts to sauces and dressings.

The origin of coconut yogurt is linked to tropical regions where coconuts are abundant, such as Southeast Asia and parts of Latin America. Currently, its popularity has grown globally due to its healthy profile and its ability to substitute traditional cow's milk yogurt in culinary preparations.

Regarding its properties, coconut yogurt is a good source of healthy medium-chain fats, which can provide quick energy to the body. Furthermore, it is naturally lactose-free and rich in probiotics, which promote digestive health and strengthen the immune system.

Depending on the country, this ingredient may be found under different names in Spanish: yogur de coco, yogurt de coco, or simply yogur vegetal de coco.

In cooking, coconut yogurt is excellent for creating smoothies, creams, marinades, and healthy desserts, providing a smooth texture and an exotic flavor that enhances many preparations.
