Shoprite Greek Nonfat Yogurt with Pomegranate
What it is
This is a Greek-style yogurt made with nonfat milk, infused with the flavor of pomegranate. Greek yogurt is strained to remove most of its whey, resulting in a thicker, creamier texture compared to regular yogurt. The addition of pomegranate provides a subtle fruity sweetness and a vibrant color. It is a dairy product that has undergone fermentation.
