Are Greek Yogurt are better than other commercial yogurt?

Question

It so smooth and creamy. I only eat them plainly with fruits and granola...

Answer 1

If you mean by taste - yes it has a better flavour and texture than commercial yogurt.

Answer 2

Greek yogurt is very different than regular yogurt and is much better to use in recipes.  If you cannot find it you can get a close substitute by doing this...

Greek Yogurt (Yiaourti)

Bring 1 litre (2-1/4 pints) of whole full-fat milk to just under boiling point and then pour the milk into a glass or earthenware dish. Let the milk cool to about 42°C/104°F. Mix 2 to 3 tablespoons of commercial plain yogurt or from a previous home-made yogurt (at room temperature) with a few tablespoons of milk, and pour into the milk carefully without disturbing the skin that may have formed on the surface of the milk. Cover with a cloth, place in a warm, draft-free place for 8 to 12 hours or overnight, and do not disturb it until the yogurt thickens. Drain any excess liquid and store in the fridge for 4 to 5 days.

To make a "thick" yogurt, remove the skin on the surface of the yogurt just made and pour the yogurt into a muslin bag. Hang the bag over a bowl and let drain for about 2 hours or until the desired thickness is obtained.

Answer 3

yaa.it tastes goooood but i think they should make greek rasberry yogurt.yum yum

Answer 4

Personally, I like it better.  It's dense, smooth and creamier than store bought varieties. It tastes great with almost anything!  Also works well in dips, dressings, sauces, marinades.....

Lately I have been making my own "Greek style" yogurt at home and it has turned out beautifully!

Answer 5

I think so. I make a cucumber sauce with it and you can tell the difference.

Answer 6

yep it's fat free and healthy

Answer 7

I believe the primary difference is the type of bacteria used.  I use 2% Greek yogurt as a sour creame substitute and it works great!
