About Dairy products

Dairy products, derived from milk, are staples in many cuisines worldwide, ranging from cheese and yogurt to butter and cream. Rich in essential nutrients like calcium, protein, phosphorus, and vitamin B12, dairy supports bone health, muscle function, and overall growth. Popular in European, Middle Eastern, and Asian dishes, these versatile ingredients add flavor and texture to recipes, from creamy soups to savory pastries. However, their saturated fat content may be a concern for heart health if consumed excessively, and lactose—a natural sugar in milk—may cause digestive issues for individuals who are lactose intolerant. Low-fat and fortified versions can offer healthier options without compromising nutritional benefits. Dairy’s wide variety of forms and tastes make it a cornerstone of global nutrition, but mindful consumption helps strike a balance between its advantages and potential drawbacks.
