Tzatziki is a yoghurt-based Greek starter. The figures here describe a prepared recipe rather than plain yoghurt. It provides fat, protein and carbohydrate. Per 100g, it contains 5.5g of fat, including 3.6g of saturated fat, alongside 3.4g of protein and 0.92g of salt.
Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Tzatziki also contains calcium, which helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. Its saturated fat and salt content are worth noting for people monitoring their intake of these nutrients. The amounts can vary with the yoghurt and other ingredients used in the recipe. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
