Two decades ago, many Americans had never experienced the pleasing flavor of yogurt. During the 1980s, however, its refreshing taste propelled yogurt to the status of a favorite food for millions of people in this country. In the nutrition-conscious 1990s, potential health benefits of yogurt promise to make it a staple of American diets.
While this may seem a quick rise in popularity, the fact is that yogurt has been enjoyed by people in many parts of the world for centuries. Appreciated for its great taste and wholesomeness, yogurt carries a healthful image that has lasted through the ages.
W hat is Yogurt?
History tells us that the first yogurt was made by accident. During a long journey across the desert, a nomad opened a goatskin bag to find a tart custard instead of the milk he had originally stored in the bag. The heat and cultures inside the bag had transformed the milk into a new food - yogurt.
Today, yogurt is made in a much more conventional mariner. Cultures are added to milk to create the highly nutritious, smooth-textured food we know as yogurt.
