Greek yogurt, a staple of Mediterranean cuisine, is a creamy, tangy dairy product made by straining regular yogurt to remove excess whey. This process concentrates its texture and boosts its protein content, making it a favorite among health-conscious individuals. Rich in calcium, potassium, and probiotics, Greek yogurt supports bone health, digestion, and gut microbiome balance. It typically contains less sugar than regular yogurt, making it a lower-carb option for those monitoring glucose levels. Full-fat versions are a source of healthy fats, while lower-fat options cater to calorie-conscious diets. However, flavored varieties may have added sugars, so choosing plain Greek yogurt is a healthier choice. Its versatility makes it ideal for savory dips, smoothie bases, or as a substitute for less nutritious fats in recipes. Greek yogurt combines tradition and nutrition in a single, satisfying food.
