Strained yogurt is a good source of protein, calcium, iodine, and vitamin B12.
Strained yogurt includes additional steps compared to conventional yogurt, where fermented milk is strained after coagulation to remove liquid whey and lactose, yielding higher protein content.
Strained yogurt is required to have at least 5.6% protein content, relative to the 2.7% for unstrained yogurt.
Strained yogurt has less sugar content than other yogurts.
