greek yoghurt

what makes it "greek" i really like this stuff how is it nutritionally i.e. where do the proteins come from, caesin or whey? it is 52cal 9p 4c per 100g and o fat.

what makes it greek? its strained as u probably realized its thicker than regular yogurts. what makes it great? there are no artificial ingredients or sweeteners and it has live yogurt cultures.

sure is yummy

there was actually still is a discussion that the live cultures destroy the natural sugars in it before they get digested so its practically digested as 0 carb and 0 sugar food, now when that theory gets proven i will call that day national holiday and go buy 100 boxes of greek yogurt

so its strained, live yog? i think it would be cheaper to get it and make it myself 'cos they only sell 125g tubs in the ff version. Isn't real greek yog from sheep or goat milk? i dont think there are that mnany greek cows!

I know this thread is old, but i was stil wondering as to what greek yoghurt was like OP said. COuld someone further clarify? Would it be a good substitute of CC cos it does get boring after a while.

Normal yogurt has both the whey and casein parts included inside the product. The whey part carries most of the sugar.

In greek yogurt a good portion, if not all of the whey is strained out through various methods, leaving you with a thicker product with less sugar.

Yes, it is an excellent substitute for cottage cheese. The kind that I have has the same amount of carbs as my CC. If you put protein in it, it is so thick it almost is like ice cream.

It can be from Sheep, Goat, or Cow's milk.

no, and that's why many people buy CC over greek yogurt

Confuzzl3dOn3 · 06-27-2009, 06:53 PM

But over here in aussie so far from wat i've seen at the supermarkets CC seems more expensive. Maybe i haven't checked properly. I'll check and tell ya guys later
