Yoghurt, Greek Heritage

Greece has given us countless cultural legacies, but when it comes to gastronomy and healthy ingredients, nothing beats yoghurt.   Recently, yoghurt has been on everyone's lips; we can see it in ice creams, salads, dressings, and many other products. The reality is that there are many types of yoghurts, and Greek yoghurt is the one with the most nutritional benefits. Since its origins in the Mediterranean until today, it has been regarded as a healthy dairy product because it has a special flavor that balances acidity and sweetness, along with health benefits. This ingredient contains double the protein of conventional yoghurt and has lower added sugar and fewer calories. Nutritionally speaking, it is particularly valuable for children, pregnant women, and the elderly, who need a high biological value protein intake for proper immune and brain system development. Because it contains fewer carbohydrates and sugars, this type of yoghurt can be included without any issues in diets and various nutritional regimens. The leading brand of Greek-style yoghurt in the United States is FAGE Total (Fa-yeh), whose Greek culinary heritage imposes two pillars: cooking with simplicity and using the freshest ingredients. This is why Greek cuisine is considered one of the healthiest in the world, and it’s also the reason why FAGE Total products boast freshness, flavor, and simplicity. Within its range of Greek-style yoghurt, we can find different versions ranging from fruity flavors to plain, and of course, its 0% offering. This last product from FAGE Total offers a yoghurt full of flavor, creamy texture, and various nutritional attributes without a single gram of fat. It is rich in protein and calcium and is safe for people suffering from diabetes, vegetarians, and people who are gluten intolerant. If you prefer to try it in different flavors, it is available in strawberry, blueberry, orange-cinnamon, apple, etc. Thanks to Greek-style yoghurt containing fewer carbohydrates than conventional yoghurt, it also has less lactose, which is a sugar found in milk that can cause intolerance in certain individuals who develop symptoms like stomach discomfort, allergies, and nausea. Another important advantage of choosing FAGE Total Greek-style yoghurt is its versatility. It can be used to create many savory dishes, sauces, and even sweet desserts. Thanks to its silky texture and low calorie count, it can be used to replace milk and cream in any baking recipe.   Recipe with Greek-Style Yoghurt Cochinita Pibil Toasts with Greek-Style Yoghurt Recipe Ingredients: - 2 cups of cochinita pibil - 4 tostadas - 1/2 onion sliced - FAGE® Total 0% Greek-Style Yoghurt to taste To see the steps to prepare this recipe click here.   Garlic and Mint Dressing FAGE Total Recipe Ingredients: - 7 ounces of FAGE® Total 0% Greek-Style Yoghurt - 3 sprigs of chopped mint - 2 cloves of finely chopped garlic - 3.4 fluid ounces of water Find the steps to prepare this recipe by clicking here.   Lemon Tart FAGE Total Recipe Ingredients: - 4 eggs - 1 cup of powdered sugar - 2 lemons (zest) - 3 lemons (juice) - 3/4 cup of FAGE® Total 0% Greek-Style Yoghurt - crust with cookie base for pie Click here to find the procedure for preparing this recipe.   Cook these recipes with Greek-Style Yoghurt.
