Dairy Products

Dairy products are food items made from milk or milk derivatives. They are a significant part of many people's diets and offer a range of nutritional benefits. Here are some common dairy products:

1. Milk: Milk is the primary dairy product and is derived from mammals, most commonly cows. It is a rich source of nutrients such as calcium, protein, vitamins (including vitamin D), and minerals. Milk is consumed as a beverage and is also used as an ingredient in various other dairy products.

2. Cheese: Cheese is made by coagulating milk and separating the curds from the whey. It comes in a wide variety of textures, flavors, and types, such as Cheddar, Mozzarella, Swiss, Feta, and many more. Cheese is used as a topping for dishes, in sandwiches, and as an ingredient in numerous recipes.

3. Yogurt: Yogurt is produced by the bacterial fermentation of milk. It is known for its creamy texture and tangy flavor. Yogurt is consumed on its own, used as a base for smoothies and desserts, and used in cooking as a substitute for sour cream or buttermilk.
