Greek yogurt, a staple of Mediterranean cuisine, is a creamy, tangy dairy product made by straining regular yogurt to remove excess whey, resulting in its thick texture and concentrated flavor. Known for its high protein content, Greek yogurt is an excellent option for those seeking to build muscle or stay satiated longer. Packed with calcium, it supports bone health, while probiotics promote digestive wellness. It is lower in lactose than traditional yogurt, making it a suitable alternative for individuals with mild lactose intolerance. Typically available in plain and flavored options, plain Greek yogurt is often touted as a healthier choice due to its minimal added sugars. However, some varieties may contain added sweeteners and fats, so checking labels is essential. Versatile in its use, Greek yogurt can be enjoyed on its own, as a base for smoothies, or as a creamy addition to both sweet and savory dishes.
