Whey
Whey is the liquid by-product left after milk has been curdled and strained during cheese production; it appears in many cuisines as an ingredient for baking, soups, marinades and protein beverages. It is valued for its rich, soluble proteins and mild tang, and is often sold as a powder or a fresh whey liquid. Nutritionally, Whey is used as a source of high-quality protein — it supplies about 12.9g of protein per 100g — and also contains water-soluble vitamins like riboflavin and some B12. From a health perspective, whey provides an excellent amino acid profile that supports muscle protein synthesis, but depending on how it is processed it can contain substantial simple sugars and some salt, so choose unsweetened or low-sodium versions when possible.
