Yogurt

Introduction:
What is Yogurt?

According to Wikipedia, Yogurt is a dairy product produced by bacterial fermentation of milk. Fermentation of lactose produces lactic acid, which acts on milk protein to give yoghurt its texture and its characteristic tang.
The milk is heated to about 80 °C to kill any undesirable bacteria and to change the milk proteins so that they set together rather than form curds. It is then cooled to about 45 °C. The bacteria culture is added, and this temperature is maintained for 4 to 7 hours for fermentation.

It has many nutritional benefits that is good for the diet. It contains Lactobacillus, good bacterias that is good for digestion.
Yogurt is naturally sour, but nowadays they put flavors to make it more tastier.

(this is not me!)

The first time I ate yogurt is when I'm a little girl at seven years old...
as far as I remember, It was a Nestle yogurt strawberry flavor.
As for a child who likes sweets, it taste awful.
It is sour and have tangy texture. I really don't like it.

Yesterday, we went to the grocery. On the dairy section I saw the Nestle yogurt, it has different flavors than before. I wanted to taste one again and to know what will my reaction be (because I hated yogurt because of the awful taste it made in my childhood.)

It has many flavors to choose from but I bought Nestle Melon Nata.

And it feels so healthy eating yogurt because of its healthy benefits.
