Greek natural yogurt is a creamy and nutrient-rich dairy product originating from Mediterranean cuisine. Made by straining regular yogurt to remove excess whey, it boasts a thicker texture and tangy flavor. This process concentrates its nutrients, making it high in protein, which is essential for muscle repair and satiety. Greek yogurt is also a good source of calcium for bone health and probiotics that support gut health. It contains fewer carbohydrates and less sugar than regular yogurt, appealing to those mindful of their sugar intake. However, some varieties can be high in fat, especially full-fat versions, so choosing the right option depending on dietary goals is key. Its versatility makes it a staple in cooking, from savory dips like tzatziki to sweet parfaits. Whether eaten alone or used as a substitute for cream in recipes, Greek natural yogurt is a delicious and health-conscious choice.
