What it is

Greek yogurt is a strained yogurt that is thicker and creamier than regular yogurt. It is made by removing whey, a liquid byproduct of yogurt production. This process results in a more concentrated product with a tangier flavor.

Why it's used

Greek yogurt is used as a base for dips, dressings, and sauces due to its thick texture and mild flavor. It can also be used in baking as a substitute for sour cream or mayonnaise, adding moisture and richness. Manufacturers use it in yogurt products, desserts, and as a protein-rich ingredient.

Health notes

Greek yogurt is a source of protein, calcium, and probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria for gut health. The FDA recognizes yogurt with live and active cultures as a potentially beneficial food. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated yogurt and its components. At typical consumption levels, it is considered safe and nutritious.

Allergen info

Greek yogurt is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
