What is the difference between curd and yoghurt? Find out!

Curd and yogurt, are they the same or are they different? While most of us think that the terms are interchangeable, there is a minor difference between a curd and a yogurt. Beyond their creamy textures and tangy flavours, many factors set them apart. Wondering what? Read on!

Difference between curd and yogurt

Curd and yogurt are dairy products produced through distinct processes. Curd is a broad term that covers various fermented dairy products, whereas yogurt specifically denotes a dairy product made by fermenting milk with specific bacterial strains.

To make curd, one usually adds a small amount of an existing curd (starter) to warm milk, allowing it to ferment. Nutritionally, curd is a rich source of calcium, protein, and probiotics.

On the other hand, yogurt undergoes fermentation with specific bacterial cultures, including Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. Yogurt often contains higher levels of probiotics due to the specific strains used in its production.

Benefits of eating curd

Curd contains beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacteria that support gut health. Curd is also full of probiotics that can aid digestion and alleviate digestive issues such as bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. It is also rich in calcium and potassium making it essential for bone health.

Benefits of eating yogurt

Yogurt can be a valuable addition to a weight loss or weight management plan due to its high protein content. Some studies suggest that regular consumption of yogurt may be associated with a lower risk of heart disease, possibly due to its beneficial effects on cholesterol levels and blood pressure. It is also great for those with low lactose tolerance.
