Difference Between Normal Yogurt and Greek Yogurt
While both yogurts are nutritious, the main difference lies in their production:
- Plain Yogurt: Made by fermenting milk with bacteria, resulting in a smooth consistency that may vary in thickness.
- Greek Yogurt: Strained to remove whey, resulting in a thicker, creamier texture and a tangy flavor. It requires more milk to produce the same quantity as plain yogurt and is generally more expensive.
