About Leite
Leite, the Portuguese word for milk, is a nutrient-rich liquid primarily produced by mammals and widely consumed across the globe. Originating as a staple in diets spanning multiple cuisines, its universal appeal aligns with its versatility in recipes, from beverages to baked goods. Nutritionally, leite is an excellent source of calcium, essential for strong bones and teeth, as well as vitamin D and protein to support muscle growth and overall health. It also contains essential vitamins like B12, riboflavin, and phosphorus. However, whole leite can be high in saturated fat, so low-fat or skim varieties are often recommended for heart health. For those who are lactose intolerant or allergic, plant-based alternatives such as almond or soy milk provide similar nutrients. Leite remains a foundational ingredient in culinary traditions, celebrated for both its nourishing properties and ability to enhance flavors.
