Global Vegan Yogurt Market Is Estimated To Witness High Growth Owing To Growing Consumer Preference For Non-Dairy Yogurt

Vegan Yogurt Market

Overview:

Yogurt has been touted as a health food for centuries thanks to its probiotics. These bacteria, which reside in the gut microbiota, help to support the immune system and metabolize foods. While dairy yogurt does have these benefits, plant-based options can be equally as good if not better. And they offer the added bonus of a reduced environmental footprint, as dairy farms produce staggering amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

Vegan yogurt can be high in saturated fat and sodium, and if it uses coconut milk it may also contain a lot of saturated fat. And that's not a good thing as too much saturated fat increases the risk for heart disease, high blood cholesterol, and atherosclerosis. It is easy, cost-effective, and tastes great. It is also a great choice for people who have lactose intolerance or a milk allergy, and for those who want to get more probiotics in their diet.
