Greek yogurt, measured by the tablespoon, is a creamy and protein-rich dairy product originating from Greece. Known for its thick texture and slightly tangy flavor, it results from straining traditional yogurt to remove excess whey, leaving a concentrated source of nutrients. A single tablespoon contains small amounts of protein, calcium, and probiotics, which support muscle health, bone strength, and digestive balance. It's popular in Mediterranean cuisine, often used in dishes like tzatziki or served alongside fruits, honey, or nuts. Greek yogurt typically has less sugar and more protein compared to regular yogurt, making it a healthier choice for many diets. However, its fat content varies; whole-milk varieties are richer in calories and saturated fats, while non-fat options are leaner. Be mindful of added ingredients in flavored versions, which can increase sugar levels. Perfect for snacking or enhancing recipes, Greek yogurt is both versatile and nutritious.
