About Plain whole milk

Plain whole milk is a dairy product made from cow’s milk, often associated with global cuisines but commonly linked to Western diets. It is minimally processed, containing approximately 3.25% milk fat, which gives it its rich, creamy texture. Packed with essential nutrients, whole milk is a natural source of calcium, protein, phosphorus, and B vitamins, supporting bone strength, muscle repair, and overall energy. Additionally, it contains vitamin D when fortified, aiding in calcium absorption. However, it does contain saturated fats, which should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Its versatility makes it a staple in cooking, baking, and beverages, from creamy soups to frothy coffee drinks. Whole milk is ideal for individuals seeking fuller flavor and higher caloric intake but might not suit those needing lower-fat options or lactose-free alternatives due to its higher fat content and lactose presence.
