In 2/3 cup of Greek, you get 190 mg calcium.
In 2/3 cup regular plain, you get 342 mg calcium.

The Greek has strained out some calcium. For those needing calcium and wanting as much as possible to be natural in the food, not added or “fortified,” you are missing 45% of the unstrained.

Thanks! Then it definitely changed since 2 years ago! I should scout out the current brands and update!

I appreciate that this post is nearly two years old, but are you aware that Greek Gods yogurt is thickened with pectin and that it is clearly not strained – that it has half the protein and nearly twice the lactose of strained Greek yogurt? One need only compare its nutritional label with that of authentic brands like Fage.

It can be so hard to find full fat yogurt, forget about full fat Greek. Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods carry full fat yogurt, of course, as you said. I sometimes find Stonyfield organic, full fat plain (sometimes I see vanilla but I prefer to add my own flavoring/sweetener) or Supernatural Kalona 5% fat, plain.

I’ve been looking for full fat varieties to give to my son – Trader Joe’s has been one of the only other places than whole foods that I can find it. I can’t believe that other grocery stores don’t carry this option.

That sounds great! Not sure about the calcium content but Vitamin D is generally added to dairy products (unless the products are raw dairy), so maybe that particular Greek yogurt doesn’t add as much? Interesting…

yum!

It’s all very similar…both made from strained yogurt. I find lebneh a bit more tangy/sour. They made be made with different yogurts, however (different bacterial strains, etc).
