“Happy accident” is an idiom meaning something good happens unexpectedly when it otherwise could have been a problem. Around 5,000 BC when milk was exposed to warm temperatures and bacteria, yogurt was the happy accident.  

Yogurt is a high-quality protein source containing micronutrients. Yogurt can be a source of vitamins A, B2 (riboflavin), B5 (pantothenic acid), and B12 (cobalamin). Some other micronutrients include calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, iodine, and zinc. Yogurt is low in sodium.
