About Cows milk

Cow's milk is a nutrient-rich beverage widely consumed across the globe. Originating from domesticated cattle, it has been a dietary staple in cuisines from Europe, Asia, and the Americas for centuries. Milk is an excellent source of calcium, vital for strong bones and teeth, and provides essential vitamins like D, B12, and potassium, as well as high-quality protein. It also contains healthy fats that can support cell function. However, whole milk is high in saturated fats, which may need moderation for heart health. Lactose, a natural sugar found in milk, can be difficult to digest for people with lactose intolerance. Available in full-fat, reduced-fat, and fat-free options, milk plays a significant role in cooking, beverages, and dairy products such as cheese, yogurt, and butter. Its versatility and nutritional profile make it a key ingredient in balanced diets worldwide.
