Yogurt and worldwide habits
Different types of yogurt are consumed around the world, and it is traditionally an inherent part of certain cultures. Think about the raita you might order with your Indian meal or the tzatziki that is served with Greek grilled meats in the Mediterranean diet… European countries, including Russia, consume the largest quantity of traditional yogurts. Research in 15 countries also shows that the biggest consumers of yogurt in the world are the Netherlands, Turkey, France, Spain and Germany.
