About Melk

Melk, known widely as milk, is a nutrient-rich liquid produced primarily by mammals, commonly sourced from cows, goats, or sheep for culinary use. Originating as a dietary staple across numerous cultures, milk plays a central role in cuisines worldwide, from creamy soups to desserts and beverages like lattes. Packed with essential nutrients, it contains calcium, vitamin D, protein, and potassium, which support bone health, muscle function, and growth. Milk is often recommended for healthy development in children and maintaining strong bones in adults. However, its saturated fat content may raise concerns for heart health if consumed excessively in full-fat forms. Alternatives like low-fat or plant-based milks cater to dietary preferences or those with lactose intolerance. Whether enjoyed on its own or as part of a recipe, milk offers a versatile and wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
