The whole white yogurt It is one of the simplest foods that can be found in the supermarket. Between increasingly crowded shelves of light proposals or enriched with fruit, cereals and superfoods, the whole variants seem to be a “basic” choice, but they are actually the best from a nutritional point of view. They do not contain added sugars, preservatives or artificial aromas: they are simply the result of the fermentation of milk, enriched only by live lactic ferments (Streptococcus Thermophilus and Lactobacillus Bulgaricus).
But among the many alternatives on the shelves, what are the best brands?
To answer is the New Red Shrimp Testwhich has tested more than 20 natural natural white yogurts of large retailers. Here are the products that entered the ranking (only 8 out of 20).
