- AgroFarma,Inc.

AgroFarma, Inc.,a NY based dairy product manufacturer founded by Hamdi Ulukaya, recently introduced a delicious new product called Chobahi Greek Yogurt.Creating true Greek yogurt is an art. It uses a centuries old technique that originated in Europe and includes taking something away and not adding anything. In fact, Greek yogurt is not heavily processed or enhanced with preservatives or sweeteners. A unique straining process where the whey is removed results in great tasting yogurt that is pure, clean, and simple, and has a rich, thick,and creamy texture.
AgroFarma, Inc., located in the rolling hills of Upstate NY, produces Chobani Greek Yogurt.There,a team of yogurt makers with more than 40 years of experience has made it its mission to produce the highest quality, all natural Greek yogurts.

Reason to treat oneself with Chobani
Protein
Derived from the Greek word chopani meaning “shepherd”,Chobani Greek Yogurt offers more than twice the amount of protein found in other major U.S.brands.One serving of Chobani Greek Yogurt can deliver up to 34 percent of an adult's daily protein requirement.Chobani is a smart choice for the South beach ,Atkins dieters or those on low or no meat diet.

Calcium
Chobani is an excellent source of calcium,each cup completes 20 percent of an adult’s recommended daily needs.Calcium rich yogurts if eaten regularly, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis, the thinning and loss of bone mass that affects 25 million Americans as they age.And can also reduce the risk of colon cancer.

Probiotics
Chobani has 5 live and active cultures(Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, as well as Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidus, and L Casei.) that boosts immunity by regulating lymphocytes, as well as antibodies within the body. Studies have also shown that probiotics help improve digestion, combat lactose intolerance and constipation, and promote the growth of healthy bacteria in the colon, reducing carcinogens.

Organic
The company uses organic farming practices to preserve the environment with a focus on producing high-quality and all-natural yogurts. All of the products are made with milk that contains no artificial hormones,preservatives and added sweeteners and the manufacturing facility is HACCP certified to ensure safety and quality,thus completely suitable for all ages.

Part of Mediterranean Diet
Mediterranean diet emphasizes an abundance of food from plant sources, including vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. It also directs people to eat minimally processed foods, while increasing their intake of low/nonfat,dairy products, to maximize health benefits. In addition, the Mediterranean diet calls for an emphasis on lean sources of protein, and limiting the consumption of red meat. Research has shown that the people of the Mediterranean region enjoy longer and healthier lives with fewer incidences of chronic disease

Flavors
With 8 different flavors including - Blueberry,Peach,Pineapple,Strawberry,Honey,Pomegranate,
vanilla and plain
,all available in Non Fat, 2% Fat and 10% Fat, Chobani has a yogurt for everyone.

Thick ,rich and fruity ,all the fruit flavored varieties with bits of real fruits are as good as desserts themselves.One can also use them in baking or whipping up smoothies.The plain variety is also great for baking and for enriching and enhance the texture of dips and salads dressings.

This looks delicious! Ramadan Mubarak sister.
Those muffins look terrific! I love plain yogurt, but I make my own yogurt which is great since it doesn't have any additives or preservatives. I use organic milk, so I get organic yogurt :)

Happy Ramadan to you and your family.

I love the chobani plain yogurt with grapes. It is the perfect mix for me. I eat this at least 1 time each day.

What a lovely blog and thanks so much for the amazing recipes!
I just finished a Chobani Plain with my own drizzle of Organic Wildflower Honey :-) DIVINE... Absolutely the best yougurt imho The plain is fabulously smooth and thick with a mild taste... It's filling too and very nutritious. The fruit flavors complement this same great plain yougurt with plump berries and just the right amount of sweetness.
