Chapter 32: Dairy

Chapter Summary

Dairy foods are flavorful, versatile, and nutritious. They include milk, cream, butter, yogurt, frozen dairy desserts, and cheese. There are many different kinds of milk and cheeses to suit a variety of tastes and purposes. Dairy substitutes are suitable for people who are allergic to dairy foods or prefer foods free of saturated fat and cholesterol. When purchasing dairy foods, consumers should consider fat amounts, container size, and product type. Because dairy foods are perishable, they need to be refrigerated. Special care must be taken when cooking with dairy foods.
