The difference between Greek yogurt and ordinary yogurt

The difference between Greek yogurt and ordinary yogurt: different ingredients, different texture.

1, different components

First of all, Greek yogurt is generally fermented by eating whole milk, and each 100g Greek yogurt contains about 3.2g； of fat; Carbohydrate12.2g; Protein 3.7 grams. Ordinary yogurt mostly uses whole milk powder as the main raw material, and every 100g yogurt contains about 6g of fat. 8.8g carbohydrates; Protein 7.2g

2, the texture is different

The texture of these two kinds of yogurt is also very different. The texture of Greek yogurt is thick and hard, close to cheese and butter. You have to dig with a spoon, and some hard ones even need to be cut with a knife. Ordinary yogurt contains water and other flavoring agents, and its texture is very thin.

How to choose yogurt

1, look at the ingredients list first.

The ingredients in the index ingredient list are arranged from more to less. The first ingredient of high-quality yogurt should be raw milk, followed by various beneficial bacteria. The ingredient list shows that yogurt with raw milk is purer than yogurt without raw milk. Therefore, the first item in a good yogurt ingredient list is raw milk.

2. Look at carbohydrate indicators

Lactic acid produced by yogurt fermentation has a strong sour taste, which is difficult for ordinary people to accept without sugar. Some yoghurts contain carbohydrates 100 g 13. 1 g, and some even reach 16 g. However, China's dietary guidelines recommend that the carbohydrate content should be less than 5g/ 100g. Therefore, when we buy yogurt, we'd better choose plain yogurt. The carbohydrate content is between10 ~12g, and the lowest content is sucrose-free yogurt, with a value of about 5g.
