ABOUT GREEK YOGURT
Greek Yogurt starts out the same as regular yogurt. Greek Yogurt is much
thicker than regular yogurt because the extra liquid (whey) has been
strained out.
The extra whey has additional protein and nutrients. It can be saved and used
as an addition in breads, soups, smoothies and shakes.
Because Greek Yogurt has been strained, it is more condensed and has a
higher protein content than regular yogurt. Greek Yogurt makes a perfect
starter for making yogurt because it contains a higher concentration of
probiotics (active cultures) than regular yogurt.
Many other countries have their own versions of strained yogurt. French
yogurt that is strained is called fromage blanc. Icelandic strained yogurt is
called skyr.
Greek Yogurt is thicker because it has been strained.
Traditionally, yogurt is strained using cheesecloth.
