Leche, or milk, is a nutrient-rich liquid traditionally derived from mammals like cows, goats, or sheep, though plant-based alternatives such as almond, soy, and oat are increasingly popular. Dairy milk is packed with essential nutrients including calcium, protein, vitamin D, and potassium, making it a staple in many global cuisines, particularly in Western diets. It is commonly enjoyed as a beverage, in cereals, or as an ingredient in dishes ranging from creamy sauces to desserts. Originating from agricultural societies, milk has been a cornerstone of human nutrition for centuries. While milk supports bone health and muscle repair, its saturated fat content in full-fat variants may not be ideal for heart health when consumed excessively. Plant-based options often come fortified, making them lower in fat and cholesterol while catering to lactose-intolerant and vegan diets. Milk consumption should align with individual dietary needs and health goals.
