When one approaches a new food education for the first time, one becomes familiar with products one has never heard of before. A perfect example of this food education 2.0 is skyr, a dairy product similar to yoghurt that has enormous benefits on digestion, intestines and more.
The first evidence comes, claims an article in 'Vogue', directly from the Vikings. It is therefore a yoghurt, or rather a creamy food (but it doesn't look at all like a cheese), which especially at breakfast helps to replace sweeter products.
Very rich in nutrients, it can be reminiscent of Greek yoghurt (another holy grail of diets) although it has a much less complicated preparation and is suitable as a substitute for different foods.
The benefits of skyr, a superfood perfect for modern diets and intestinal regularity
When one first approaches a new food education, one becomes familiar with products one has never heard of before. A perfect example of this food education 2.0 is skyr, a dairy product similar to yoghurt that has enormous benefits on digestion, on the intestine, which is often strained and irritated due to the deadly combination of diet and stress in our daily lives. It is a perfect food to experience a new way of eating breakfast.

It is a low-calorie and fat-free dairy product, and contains fewer milk enzymes than a normal yoghurt, but is nevertheless a good alternative for those who have difficulty tolerating dairy products. More reminiscent of a fresh cheese (like quark), it contains many minerals such as potassium and calcium, vitamins D and B, mainly vitamin B12.
Being a low-calorie and fat-free food, it is great for the digestion. It also helps the body with healthy bones, muscles, nervous system and locked metabolism. It is also a great alternative for those who cannot consume dairy products. It keeps the glycemic index at bay and provides a sense of satiety, controlling blood sugar levels and eliminating the urge to consume more sweets.
Finding them in front of the supermarket counter, we might think that they are exactly the same thing, although this is actually not the case. First of all, let's talk about the taste: skyr is more acidic and compact, while Greek yoghurt is more properly a yoghurt. At the level of preparation, however, Greek yoghurt is made with more milk and a much more complex, strained preparation. Skyr, on the other hand, has a simpler preparation, takes less advantage of the action of bacteria and is more like a cream cheese.
Simplifying a lot, skyr is great for savoury recipes while Greek yoghurt is great for desserts. However, this is not a golden rule, and in fact skyr is also used as a cheese substitute, for example, in cheesecakes, but it can also be used as a base for sauces to accompany food, such as mint and saffron. In addition, skyr is excellent with certain foods, such as fruit, honey, oatmeal or spelt, but it is also perfect as a base for savoury and sweet croutons for summer aperitifs.
