You may have eaten it straight from the container, dolloped it over a bowl of fresh fruit, added it to your overnight oats, or even gone as far as to use it as a dip. Yogurt is an easy and tasty way to add essential nutrients like protein and calcium to your meals.

MARIGOLD Yoghurt contains calcium, real fruits (except the Natural variant) and live probiotic cultures said to promote a healthier digestive system. Awarded the Healthier Choice Symbol by the Health Promotion Board, MARIGOLD Yoghurt can be used as a healthier alternative to coconut milk, sour cream and butter without compromising on taste or texture.

It’s an incredibly versatile food. Use it to jazz up boring spreads, enrich soups, stews and curries, and balance spicy foods. The enzymes in yogurt even help to tenderise fish and meat, making it an ideal ingredient for marinades.

If you enjoy baking, you can also use yogurt in the making of cakes, cookies and muffins. Whether you prefer sweet or savoury foods, yogurt should be a staple ingredient in your refrigerator.
