You may remember the frozen yogurt craze of the ’80s, where it was promoted as a healthy snack because it was generally lower in fat. Well, today Frozen Yogurt is back, in a big way and it’s not the same as always. Not only is it now seen as a low-fat dessert, sour yogurt is also touted as being healthy for you.
Today’s frozen yogurt is capitalizing on the popularity of “live active cultures” in health brands like Activia, and is often referred to as “sour tart frozen yogurt” because of this. In addition, many stores are positioning Tart Yogurt as a healthy alternative to ice cream, something low in sugar, served with fresh berries, granola, and other “healthy” ingredients.
While the Midwest is just beginning to demand it, Kool Technologies has been following this trend as it transformed the market in California and the Northeast. Tart Yogurt works best in high income places, and especially in college towns.
