Yogurt – Difference Between Greek Yogurt and Plain Yogurt

substitutionsyogurt

One of the ingredients of a recipe is Greek yogurt. May I replace it with plain yogurt? If I do it, what is the difference that I would immediately note?

Greek yogurt has more fat than a "normal" yogurt, about 10%.

Further an original Greek yogurt is made from sheep's milk since there aren't many cows in Greece. This might taste a bit odd for people used to cow's milk though...

When buying Greek yogurt made from cow's milk I recommend you look out for the native brand ΦΑΓΕ.
