Dairy Foods

Dairy foods are products made from the milk of mammals, primarily cows, goats, or sheep. Common dairy products include milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and ice cream. They are rich sources of nutrients such as calcium, protein, vitamin D, and potassium, which are essential for healthy bones, muscle function, and overall well-being. Dairy foods can be enjoyed on their own or used as ingredients in many recipes. While they are nutritious for many people, some individuals may need to limit or avoid dairy due to allergies, lactose intolerance, or specific dietary choices.
