Dairy: Features and Storage
- Dairy products include milk, cheese, yogurt, and butter derived from animals like cows, goats, and sheep.
- They are rich in essential nutrients such as calcium, protein, and vitamins A, D, and B12.
- Dairy products come in varied forms - pasteurized or raw and can be consumed directly, cooked, or used in dishes.
- Proper storage of dairy products prevents spoilage and bacteria growth. It includes keeping them in a cool, dry, and dark place, for instance, a refrigerator at 1-4°C (34-39°F).
- Dairy products should be sealed and kept away from strong-smelling foods to avoid odor absorption.
- Always check expiration dates and consume dairy products within the recommended period for optimal taste and safety.
