I love Yougurt
Especially Greek Yougurts
Greek yogurt
differs from other yogurts because it goes through a straining process to remove the whey. Whey
is a
liquid
that contains lactose, a natural sugar found in milk.
Making yogurt involves fermenting milk with live cultures of beneficial bacteria.
Strained Greek yogurt is lower in sugar than regular yogurt. Removing the whey produces a thicker, creamier
yogurt with
a tart taste.
Some manufacturers add thickening agents to regular yogurt, and market it as “Greek-style” yogurt, which may
not
share
the same health benefits as Greek yogurt.
Also, low or no-fat Greek yogurt may not share the same health benefits as traditional Greek yogurt.
In this article, learn about eight potential health benefits of Greek yogurt, as well as how to incorporate
it
into a
balanced diet.
