FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long does full-fat Greek yogurt last after opening?
Once opened, it typically stays fresh for 7 to 10 days if kept refrigerated and sealed.
Can I freeze Greek yogurt?
Freezing is not recommended for eating plain as the texture becomes grainy and watery, though it can be used in smoothies after freezing.
What is the difference between Greek yogurt and regular yogurt?
Greek yogurt is strained to remove liquid whey, resulting in a thicker consistency and higher protein concentration.
Is full-fat Greek yogurt better than low-fat?
Full-fat yogurt is more satiating and often contains less added sugar than low-fat versions, though it is higher in calories.
What can I use as a substitute for Greek yogurt?
Sour cream, Icelandic skyr, or thick labneh are the best substitutes for texture and tang.
How can I tell if Greek yogurt has gone bad?
Look for visible mold, a sharp sour or yeasty smell, or an unusually large amount of liquid separation (though a little whey is normal).
Is Greek yogurt suitable for people with lactose intolerance?
Many people with mild lactose intolerance tolerate Greek yogurt well because the straining process removes much of the lactose-rich whey.
Can I use Greek yogurt in baking?
Yes, it adds moisture and a slight tang to cakes, muffins, and breads, often acting as a substitute for butter or oil.
