About Quarter cup of full fat milk

A quarter cup of full-fat milk provides a small but nutrient-rich serving often used in cooking, baking, or beverages. Originating from domesticated dairy animals such as cows or goats, milk has long been a staple in cuisines worldwide. Full-fat milk contains essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D, which support bone health, along with protein for muscle repair and vitamin B12 for energy production. However, its higher fat content contributes to added calories and saturated fats, which should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. This portion is ideal for recipes requiring creaminess or for enriching drinks like coffee or tea. Full-fat milk also delivers a natural sweetness and richness, making it a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. For those watching their fat intake, low-fat or skim alternatives might be preferable.
