How is yogurt made? Yogurt is milk that goes through a culturing process with a starter culture to convert its lactose to lactic acid. Greek yogurt is regular yogurt that has a thicker, more dense consistency due to a filtering process that removes whey and liquids or through the addition of whey protein and milk protein concentrates. Both yogurt and Greek yogurt are sources of probiotics and nutrients. Greek yogurt comes out on top for protein content and has fewer carbs and sugar, while plain yogurt typically provides more potassium and calcium. The straining process gives Greek yogurt a different nutritional profile than regular yogurt. A serving of Greek yogurt usually has half the carbs and twice the protein. The more intense flavor may allow dairies to add less sodium for flavor. Regular yogurt made with whole milk usually offers more calcium per serving than Greek yogurt that starts with whole milk. Greek yogurt often goes in recipes to increase texture, provide moisture or serve as a substitute for mayonnaise, sour cream or buttermilk. It can be used in everything from savory dishes to ice cream. Plain regular yogurt is lighter and often mixed into smoothies, dressings and lighter dishes.
