Description

Fat-free and sugar-free yogurt is a fermented dairy product characterized by containing a minimal amount of fat and no added sugars. Its creamy texture and slightly acidic taste make it a versatile ingredient in the kitchen, ideal for preparing everything from dressings and sauces to healthy desserts and smoothies.

This type of yogurt comes from the traditional process of bacterial fermentation of milk, in which live cultures are used to transform lactose into lactic acid, providing digestive benefits. As for its origin, yogurt has ancient roots in regions of Central Asia and the Middle East, although today it is a popular and widely used food all over the world, including Latin America.

Among its properties, its low calorie and fat content stands out, making it a recommended option for weight control diets or for people looking to reduce their consumption of saturated fats and sugars. Furthermore, it is a good source of high-quality protein and probiotics that promote intestinal health.

In different countries of Latin America, fat-free and sugar-free yogurt can be found under various names or synonyms such as skimmed yogurt, light yogurt, or simply plain unsweetened yogurt. These terms reflect its main characteristic of containing little to no fat and having no added sugars, which makes it easy to identify in recipes and supermarkets.
