Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is a thick, creamy type of yogurt made by straining regular yogurt to remove most of the whey (liquid). This process gives it a richer texture and higher protein content compared to normal yogurt. Greek yogurt has a tangy taste and can be eaten plain or mixed with fruits, honey, or nuts. It is commonly used in breakfasts, smoothies, dips, and desserts.

Key features:

• Color: White or creamy white
• Taste: Tangy and slightly sour
• Texture: Thick and creamy
• Source: Made from milk through fermentation and straining
