Plain Greek Yogurt
What it is
This is a large tub of plain Greek yogurt. It is a dairy product made by straining regular yogurt to remove most of its whey. This process results in a thicker, creamier texture and a more concentrated, tangy flavor. It is a versatile ingredient that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. The plain variety contains no added sugars or flavorings, making it a blank canvas for culinary creations.
