Description

Fat-free Greek yogurt is a thick and creamy dairy product, obtained through a straining process that removes most of the whey, which gives it its dense texture and slightly tangy flavor. Unlike traditional yogurt, Greek yogurt has a higher protein content and less sugar, and in its fat-free version, it contains no lipids, making it a healthy and light option for various culinary preparations.

Its origin dates back to the Mediterranean region, being especially popular in Greece, where it has been part of the traditional diet for centuries. Today, it is produced and consumed all over the world, being a versatile ingredient in recipes ranging from breakfasts and desserts to sauces and dressings.

In terms of its properties, fat-free Greek yogurt is an excellent source of protein, calcium, and probiotics, which provide benefits for digestive and bone health. Furthermore, as it contains no fat, it is ideal for low-calorie diets without sacrificing nutritional value.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, fat-free Greek yogurt may have alternative names such as skimmed natural yogurt, strained fat-free yogurt, or simply fat-free yogurt. However, the designation "Greek yogurt" is the most common and recognized in recipes and specialty stores.
