Fruit bottom

Fruit bottom (or fruit at the bottom) often refers to packaged yogurt with a layer of fruit at the bottom.

Consumption

A person may mix the yogurt and the fruit to enjoy fruit yogurt, or alternatively eat the yogurt on top and save the fruit layer for later consumption. This latter approach is rarely, if ever practiced. The yogurt and fruit can be mixed by using a utensil (such as a spoon) to stir the mixture, or by shaking the yogurt cup before opening it. Vigorous shaking results in a far less viscous mixture that can be consumed as a kind of a drink, and comes in handy for when you bring the yogurt cup with you but forget a spoon (or spork).

Alternatives

Fruit yogurt is also often marketed pre-stirred (usually simply referred to as stirred yogurt, stirred fruit yogurt, or Swiss-style yogurt).
