Cow milk is a liquid produced by cows and is widely consumed across the world as a staple ingredient in many cuisines, including Western, Middle Eastern, and South Asian cooking. It is rich in essential nutrients, including calcium, vitamin D, protein, and potassium, which contribute to bone health, muscle function, and overall growth and development. Cow milk also contains lactose, a naturally occurring sugar, which may be difficult to digest for individuals with lactose intolerance. Full-fat varieties are higher in saturated fats, which can impact heart health if consumed in excess, while reduced-fat and skim options provide the same nutrients with less fat content. Milk is versatile, used in beverages, baked goods, sauces, and desserts, and is widely recognized as an accessible source of nutrition. However, due to its animal origin, it may not align with vegan diets or those avoiding dairy.
