About Whey, sweet, dried

Whey is the thin, cloudy liquid left behind when milk curdles and the solid curds are strained away, the watery partner to casein in cheesemaking. For generations it was treated as a byproduct and often fed to livestock, but today it is prized for its nutrition. Whey carries most of milk's soluble protein, and dried whey protein has become one of the most popular supplements for athletes and anyone trying to build or hold onto muscle, since it digests quickly and is rich in essential amino acids.

Beyond protein it supplies lactose, calcium, riboflavin, and other B vitamins. Fresh liquid whey can stand in for water or milk to bake tangy breads, cook grains and beans, or blend into smoothies, and ricotta is traditionally made by heating leftover whey a second time. The powder turns up in protein shakes, bars, and countless processed foods. Keep liquid whey refrigerated and use it within a few days, or store the dried powder sealed in a cool, dry spot.
