Milk
Milk is a staple dairy beverage used worldwide in cooking and drinking, commonly consumed on its own, in cereals, or as an ingredient in both sweet and savory recipes. It is known for its mild flavor and versatility, and varieties range from whole to low‑fat and lactose‑reduced versions. Nutrition-wise, Milk provides a notable amount of complete protein with about 3.4g of protein per 100g, and is also a dietary source of iodine and vitamin B12 when consumed as part of a varied diet. From a health perspective, milk offers high-quality protein and several important micronutrients that support bone and thyroid health, while lower-fat versions reduce saturated fat intake; choose fortified plant alternatives if you need a dairy-free option.
