About Yogurt tube
Yogurt tubes are a portable, pre-packaged form of yogurt, commonly enjoyed as a convenient snack or addition to lunches. Yogurt itself originates from ancient Middle Eastern and Central Asian cuisine, where fermentation was used to preserve milk. Typically made from dairy, yogurt is rich in probiotics, protein, calcium, and vitamins like B12 and D. Modern yogurt tubes often come in various flavors and are especially popular among children. A standard yogurt tube (about 60g) provides approximately 4g of protein, 10-12% of the recommended daily calcium intake, and often includes live active cultures beneficial for gut health. Additionally, some may be fortified with vitamin D to support bone health.

How does a yogurt tube compare to regular yogurt cups?
