Yogurt, Greek style, plain

Plain Greek-style yoghurt is a fermented milk product; the figures here describe yoghurt made with whole milk. It provides fat, protein and carbohydrate, along with minerals such as calcium and iodine. Per 100g, it contains 10g of fat, including 6.8g of saturated fat, as well as 5.7g of protein and 126mg of calcium.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth. The saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring their intake. Plain yoghurt also contains naturally occurring milk sugars, so plain does not mean sugar-free. Full nutrient figures, including energy, sugars and salt, are provided in the tables below.
