Great.
Great. There’s PECTIN in my plain Greek yogurt. There doesn’t need to be pectin in yogurt! That totally bumps up the sugar to twice what I should have, in a 6 oz. container of something that should be fairly plain and mild (I add blueberries or honey sometimes, but mostly, I buy plain yogurt for using in cooking, making salad dressings, etc.). This is disappointing.

I have the same reaction when I find modified food starch in yogurts! 😛
Di Cleverly You must be buying the kind with something else in it besides yogurt (fruit or flavorings)? I just buy plain. It should be nothing but cultured milk and live cultures.
Have you tried Fage? I think it’s pectin free
Shannon Shoffner I’ll look. I’ve already gone and found a list of yogurts with lower sugar amounts (I mean, it’s a milk product, there’s going to be some sugar because of lactic acid being a sugar). I saw that Stonyfield plain Greek and Chobani plain Greek both have under 9g each per serving.
I can’t stand anything but vanilla! I.mix in my own fruit and granola. 🙂
I’ve stopped purchasing greek yogurt (byproducts in the environment). Switched to plain organic yogurt. If I want the yogurt thicker, cheese cloth, drain for a few hours or even overnight (labneh – great cream cheese substitute). 7 grams of sugar in 175 g serving (that’s a 6% MF yogurt). Something to consider? 🙂
Yes. I should try that. I mostly use it for salad dressings and the occasional substitute for sour cream or heavy cream in cooking. But I figure I already do enough food prep and making stuff from scratch, the last thing I want to do is mess with an ingredient, something I should be able to just reach for in its purest form and use it, and not have to fuck with it.
I hear you, nothing more irritating than the fact you have to be careful with a food product that shouldn’t be full of extra (unneeded) garbage.
