Significance – to raise the awareness about the importance of milk and its products as part of a health balance diet.
“Milk is the First Food for Human” is the theme for this year.
It was initiated by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to celebrate all aspects of milk as a global food.
Did you know, Milk is a complete food except for iron and vitamin C. It contains lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, salts, minerals like calcium and phosphorus, vitamins like Vit A, B complex– in other words, all healthy nutrients required by our body.
I know most of you don’t like milk, we make faces…give excuses like it does not suit our system, other mammals milk is not designed for our body n so on right. ..
To make it interesting, you can add different flavours to it. Saffron, cinnamon, vanilla essence, rose essence, dry fruit powder, strawberry squash thandai syrup etc.
Still not a liking for milk then have milk products like panir, curd, buttermilk, cheese, ghee etc.
