Whey water is the liquid byproduct left after milk is curdled and strained during the cheese or yogurt-making process. Originating from dairy-rich cuisines, it has been used traditionally in European, Indian, and Middle Eastern cooking and as a natural fertilizer. Nutritionally, whey water is rich in protein, particularly whey protein, which is valued for muscle repair and growth. It also contains lactose, vitamins, minerals like calcium, and bioactive compounds that support gut health and immunity. While low in fat, its lactose content may not be suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance. High sodium levels may be a concern depending on how it’s collected or processed. Often consumed as a drink or used in cooking, whey water is an eco-friendly ingredient, offering a sustainable way to incorporate nutrient-dense components from dairy into meals and beverages.
