Absolutely! It's a comforting and nutritious option.
A tad sour is okay, but too sour means it's over-fermented. Best to avoid.
If you're lactose intolerant, it might. Always consult your doctor.
It can be, but monitor your portions and opt for low-fat versions.
Yes, homemade curd is often fresher and free from additives.
Nope, frozen yogurt is more of a dessert and might contain added sugars.
