Whole Milk

Whole milk (pronunciation: /hoʊl mɪlk/) is a type of dairy product that has not had the fat removed from it.

Etymology

The term "whole milk" originates from the fact that it contains the entire milk product, including the fat. The word "milk" comes from the Old English word "meoluc", which is derived from the Proto-Germanic "*meluks".

Description

Whole milk is often used in cooking and baking due to its rich and creamy texture. It is also consumed as a beverage and is a common ingredient in many types of cheese. Whole milk typically contains about 3.25% milk fat, which gives it a richer flavor and creamier texture than skim milk or low-fat milk.

Nutritional Information

Whole milk is a good source of protein, calcium, and vitamin D. It also contains significant amounts of vitamin A, vitamin B12, and potassium. However, because of its high fat content, it is also higher in calories than other types of milk.
