Greek yogurt, spoonful. Greek yogurt also called cheese yogurt, strained yogurt and labneh. No matter what you call it, America loves Greek yogurt, it's a $2 billion a year industry. Eating and eating, considering the health benefits, there is nothing to blame. What is Greek yogurt? How does it differ from regular yogurt? Greek yogurt is made with real yogurt; it is however richer in protein and denser, since some of the liquid has been filtered. Greek yogurt is strained through a cloth, paper bag, or strainer to remove the whey, giving it the consistency of yogurt or thick cheese, but preserving the tart flavor beloved by yogurt connoisseurs. American consumers also love the rich flavor of Greek yogurt, which is also creamier and more acidic than regular yogurt. Regular yogurt is fermented milk produced by bacterial fermentation, which produced lactic acid. Lactic acid acts on milk proteins and produces yogurt's creamy texture and tart flavor. Like many yogurts, Greek yogurt is made with milk that has been enriched by boiling some water and adding additional butterfat and milk powder. The milk for yogurt is heated to 80°C (176°F) to kill bad bacteria and prevent the milk from curdling. Surprisingly, however, strained yogurt is more lactose-free and less rich in sugars and carbohydrates. Popular Greek yogurt, however, is not traditional Greek yogurt, which is typically unstrained and made with domestic milk, most likely goat's milk. Versatility and healthy benefits. Yogurt itself is healthy and nutritionally rich in protein, calcium, riboflavin and vitamins B6. and B12. Those who are normally lactose intolerant can sometimes digest yogurt without side effects, because the lactose in milk has been converted... middle of paper... Greek yogurt helped me understand the chemistry better? I learned about the process of creating yogurt and how acidic whey is harmful to the environment, but it is being explored how it can be better disposed of to meet consumer dietary demands. I also learned that there are many more benefits beyond calcium and "good bacteria" in yogurt, like using it outside of your body. I thought yogurt could be eaten. I also learned about the minerals and vitamins that are included in yogurt, which I wasn't aware of, as I had never taken the time to really pay attention to the ingredients in the cup of yogurt before. I am vegan and no longer eat yogurt, however, knowing that soy options and other dairy free options exist, I will look for them and be willing to try them, as long as they don't harm the environment. There are many environmental impacts in everything.
