Roundy's Traditional Greek Nonfat Yogurt
What it is
This is a thick and creamy yogurt made from skim milk. It has a tangy flavor and a smooth texture. Greek yogurt is strained to remove most of the whey, which results in a denser product compared to regular yogurt. This nonfat version contains no added fat.
How people cook with it
This yogurt is a versatile ingredient that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. It adds richness and a pleasant tang to many recipes.

You can enjoy this yogurt straight from the container for a quick snack. It is excellent as a base for breakfast bowls, topped with fruit and granola. In cooking, it can be stirred into sauces and soups to add creaminess and a subtle acidity. It works well in marinades for meats, helping to tenderize them. For baking, it can replace sour cream or buttermilk in some recipes, contributing moisture and a tender crumb.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to regular yogurt, Greek nonfat yogurt is significantly thicker and has a more concentrated flavor due to the straining process. Its lower moisture content makes it a better choice for recipes where a very thick consistency is desired.
