Milk is a white liquid food produced by lactating mammals. The young ones rely on milk as their primary source of nutrition before they are ready to digest solid food. Even when they do start consuming solid food, they are still given full-cream milk to meet their calorie needs. The origin of milk can be traced back to 10,000 years ago during the Neolithic Revolution, when humans used to survive on hunting and gathering for gathering food. They started observing animals and were able to collect milk from goats and aurochs (ancestral cow breeds) in pottery vessels. Humans also consume milk in various forms, both fresh and processed. Some of the processed milk products are butter, cheese, whey (formed along with curd after coagulation of milk), condensed milk, dried milk, yogurt, etc. The fresh milk comes from multiple sources, and we consume it as cow milk, buffalo milk, goat milk, etc.
Nowadays, with growing awareness around diet and wellness, many health-conscious individuals have started choosing specific types of milk based on their nutritional needs. For instance, Skim milk contains minimal fat and fewer calories, making it a popular option for those aiming to reduce fat intake. Low-fat milk contains about 1–2% fat and is often chosen by those people who want an alternative to whole milk. Another milk product is Buttermilk, which is known for its tangy flavor and is valued for its digestive-friendly properties. Another widely used form is powdered milk, which is made from dehydrating milk to increase its shelf life.
We consume milk products every day in our lives, and some of the most consumed ones are yogurt, cheese, butter, ice cream, etc. We consume them in every meal of the day in different forms, like yogurt and fruit meals, cheese sandwiches, or by making our curries of sauces by adding cream and butter to them. This way, we are able to enjoy all the nutritional benefits of milk in various forms. Let's look at what nutrients milk and its products provide us:
