Greek yogurt, originating from Greece, is a thick, creamy dairy product celebrated for its rich texture and nutritional benefits. Made by straining regular yogurt to remove excess whey, it boasts a higher protein content, making it a popular choice for those looking to support muscle repair and stay fuller for longer. Packed with probiotics, it promotes gut health and aids digestion. Greek yogurt is also a good source of calcium, essential for strong bones and teeth, as well as potassium, which helps balance electrolytes. It typically contains less sugar and fewer carbs than regular yogurt, though this varies with flavored options, which may have added sweeteners. Due to its saturated fat content, opting for low-fat or non-fat varieties can be a healthier choice. Versatile in both savory and sweet dishes, Greek yogurt is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine and a nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
