Uses of Milk
Milk is one of the blessings
which mankind has got from animals. Milk is a perfect food. It should form an
essential part of our daily diet. Doctors advise never to miss your daily glass
of milk.
Milk is a rich source of calcium.
It contains fat and protein in the form of casein. Its nourishing value is
great. It is good for all people. But milk is a must for children, old people
and expectant mothers.
Milk gives us health, growth and
strength. Milk is chiefly obtained from the cows. The other animals which
provide us milk are buffaloes, sheep and goats. In desert areas camel milk is
used.
Milk is used in various forms. It
is taken directly. It is added to tea, coffee and other drinks. Curds, butter,
ghee, cheese and sweets are prepared from milk.
Milk should always be kept in
clean and covered containers. It should be properly boiled before use.
Over-boiling should be avoided. By boiling we pasteurize it. Goat milk is more
easily digestible.
Milk is cheaper in comparison to
many other costly food items. Milk is also obtainable in condensed and powered
form.
India is one of the foremost
producers of milk in the world. Still, keeping in view India's mammoth
population, the supply is not commensurate with demand.
