Dannon Oikos Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
What it is
This is a plain, nonfat Greek-style yogurt. It is made from milk that has been fermented by live and active cultures. Greek yogurt is strained to remove much of the whey, resulting in a thicker texture and a more concentrated flavor compared to regular yogurt. This version is unsweetened and unflavored, offering a versatile base for various culinary applications.
How people cook with it

In the kitchen, this plain nonfat Greek yogurt can be stirred into smoothies for added creaminess and body. It works well as a base for homemade dips and spreads, often mixed with herbs, spices, or vegetables. For breakfast, it can be topped with fruits, granola, or nuts. It can also be used in baking as a substitute for sour cream or mayonnaise in some recipes, contributing moisture and a slight tang. Its neutral flavor profile makes it adaptable to a wide range of ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods
