Why has it taken yogurt so long to catch on? Its first customers in the United, States' were ethnic groups who grew up with yogurt in their native land.

Today flavored yogurt accounts for 90 per cent of the market with strawberry, cherry and rasberry heading the list of favorites. Currently, more - than.2s different flavors are marketed.
