About Milk carton

Milk, typically packaged in a carton, is a nutrient-rich beverage derived from cows, goats, or plant-based alternatives like almonds or oats. Originating from dairy farming traditions, milk holds a prominent place in global cuisines, from creamy sauces to refreshing beverages. It is an excellent source of calcium, protein, and essential vitamins like B12 and D, supporting bone health, muscle function, and overall development. However, traditional dairy milk can be high in saturated fats, which may not be suitable for certain diets. Lactose-intolerant individuals might also find it difficult to digest. Plant-based milk options often offer lower calorie and fat content but may lack the protein levels of animal-derived milk unless fortified. When selecting milk, options with fewer added sugars and preservatives are typically the healthiest choice. Milk remains a versatile staple that can be enjoyed on its own or as an ingredient in countless recipes.
