About Milk or cream

Milk or cream, both dairy products, are versatile staples in cuisines worldwide, originating from the milking of mammals like cows, goats, or sheep. Milk is nutrient-rich, offering calcium, protein, vitamins D and B12, and potassium, which support bone health and overall wellness. Cream, derived from the high-fat layer of milk, is thicker and primarily used in cooking, baking, coffee, and desserts. While cream adds richness and texture, it is significantly higher in fat and calories compared to milk, making moderation key. Skim and low-fat milk provide lighter options for those monitoring fat intake, while whole milk and heavy cream cater to indulgent recipes or weight gain goals. Both products contribute to a balanced diet when consumed mindfully but can be problematic for those lactose intolerant or managing cholesterol levels. Always consider your dietary needs and choose varieties that align with your health goals.
