Natural vs. Greek vs. Icelandic yogurt

What's the difference between Natural, Greek and Icelandic (Skyr) yogurt?

The world of dairy is confusing. There's more choice than ever. There are three main choices when it comes to yogurt: Natural, Greek or Icelandic. But, at first glance, it's not clear what the difference is between these yogurts.

In this video, we explore all three yogurts, the differences between them, and discuss which we should eat, and whether we should eat yogurt at all. Hint: it depends.

I have stage IV cancer and have gone through extensive Chemotherapy of many kinds and Radiation therapy. During treatment I find yogurt a good and easy way to obtain Protein. You dont have to eat much and its Healthy, low in Sugar and High in Protein with some essential fats and calcium. and its Tasty with Bananas which include a good amount of very needed Potassium, one of the most import nutrient's that my cancer treatments causes to go very low.

Exept that the reason Skyr has it's name is that it has been a thing in Iceland for hundreds of years and not popularized in the rest of the world except for the last 15 years at the most. I'm 35 and I grew up with Skyr and my parents and grandparents did as well. The way Skyr is made and the name Skyr is as Icelandic as it gets. Greetings from Iceland.

I’m halfway through the video and had to just say thank you. I have some health issues and am looking into fixing up my diet to help that and yogurt is something I definitely want to start incorporating. However a lot of store bought have a shit ton of sugar and I’m trying to limit that as best as I can, so I thank you for making this video and helping further educate me. Looking forward to more, got yourself a new sub

That leftover liquid whey that dairy farmers are trying to get rid of, it's actually very very good for gardens. I know an apple farmer that actually took all this way from a dairy farm and used it to spray on all his apples, the trunks of his trees, and watered his trees with them and they became much more resistant to pests and disease.

In Greece we always called the type you are using here "strained". It was strange when we found out through tv shows that people called it Greek yogurt abroad. We eat many different types of yogurt (not as many as the Bulgarians) but strained is the most popular, especially Fage's Total. What set the recipe apart for Fage and did so much branding is that they use what we call "anthogala" or "staka" and it is the very fatty froth that comes up when goat and sheep milks are mixed. So that was specific to Fage for many decades and because it was a Greek company it was branded as the "Greek yogurt" in the US.

This was EXACTLY what I had been searching for and more, thank you. And it's facinating how many ways humans put up milk for it's calories, even when we can't drink it plain.

You can use the sour whey to make something called 'Mysingur' (Icelandic) or 'Prim' (Norwegian) or 'messmör' (Swedish), it's a brown and cheesy spread.

Hello Adam!
Thank you for making this video.
It was easy to follow and very informative.
I was for the longest time curious to know the difference between labnah and greek yogurt, unfortunately the chart linked is not very clear.

[SKOLAH]

I'm addicted to that Greek yoghurt.
