Grocery store shelves are bursting with more and more varieties of Greek yogurt to meet the demands of customers who are hooked on this new twist on a well-known dairy product.
Compared with traditional yogurt, Greek yogurt is thicker, as well as being higher in protein and calcium. At the same time, it is lower in sugar and sodium than mainstream yogurt, according to local nutritionists.
Greek yogurt is "thicker, more concentrated, more dense and more creamy," said Wayne Askew, University of Utah professor and chairman of the division of nutrition in the College of Health.
