Nutrition fact of the day: Greek yogurt has twice the protein of regular yogurt

Yogurt has long been celebrated as a nutritious, versatile food, but not all yogurts are created equal. Among the varieties on store shelves, Greek yogurt has quietly gained a reputation for packing an extra nutritional punch, particularly when it comes to protein. In nutrition fact of the day, well understand how Greek yogurt has twice the protein of regular yogurt, even though both share the same foundational ingredients. The secret behind Greek yogurts higher protein content lies in its unique production process. While both regular and Greek yogurt start with milk and live bacterial cultures, Greek yogurt undergoes an extra straining step that removes much of the liquid whey. Since liquid gets removed, the same serving size ends up with more protein per gram, even if total protein content produced originally was similar.
