We eat with benefits: dairy products in our diet
Milk is the first discovery in our life that introduces us to the world of taste sensations. And it also lays the foundation for health and forms the immune system.
At the milk springs
Humanity has been drinking milk for 10 thousand years. From the moment when the goats, sheep, and cows were tamed. Curiously, the ability to digest milk was the result of a gene mutation. At first, only children produced a special enzyme lactase, which is responsible for the processing of milk sugar — lactose. And only in the course of a long mutation, the adult body learned to produce the necessary enzyme. This important skill increased people’s chances of survival, made them resistant to disease, and became an important source of essential calcium and vitamin D.
Today we are witnessing the consequences of this round of evolution. It is still easier for a child’s body to digest milk than for an adult. Some people have lactose intolerance, and it can manifest itself at any age. Fortunately, in our age, because of this, you do not need to give up a valuable product. After all, there is milk with a reduced lactose content, such as Parmalat Low Lactose. During special processing, the amount of lactose in it, as well as fat, is reduced, and the level of protein and minerals remains high. This product contains a perfectly balanced taste and one hundred percent benefit.
Family joys
By the way, the rich range of products of the Parmalat group of companies is represented not only by milk. It includes natural products for the whole family: fruit juices, nectars, fruit drinks, various types of kefir, sour cream and cream. Their highest quality is time-tested, because Parmalat has been on the food market since 1961. During this period, it has successfully gone from a small dairy production in the heart of the Italian province of Emilia-Romagna to a multinational company with offices in dozens of countries around the world, including Russia.
Agree, dairy products are present on our table all year round. We are happy to eat them in their pure form and add them to a variety of dishes. And on special occasions, we prepare desserts. So, whipped cream makes a delicious filling for pies, cheesecakes, eclairs and tartlets. The airy buttercream will decorate any birthday cake or cakes for a friendly party. The cream is also used to make the most delicate souffles and mousses, eggnog, a real Italian panna cotta, and crispy meringues.
Under the creamy clouds
Although the winter holidays have already died down, the desire to please your loved ones with something delicious remains. Wonderful poppy seed cake is created for this purpose. Whisk separately 6 yolks with 120 g of sugar in a foamy mass and 6 proteins with a pinch of salt in a strong foam. Sift 70 g of flour, 1 tbsp of starch into the yolks, beat with a mixer and add a glass of poppy seeds soaked in boiling water in advance. Add the whites, ½ tsp. nutmeg and spread the dough in a greased round shape. Bake the cake for 30 minutes at 180 °C, cool. Top with cherry jam. Beat 100 ml of chilled Parmalat 35% cream with a mixer and decorate the cake with them, and put the dessert cherries on top.
Do you want something easier? Prepare the fruit baked in cream. In a preheated frying pan with butter, spread the mixture of apple and pear. Sprinkle them with 1 tbsp brown sugar and simmer until the fruit is caramelized. Add 50 g of raisins soaked in vanilla tea, and stand on medium heat for 7-10 minutes. Spread the fruit platter in an oiled form and bake in the oven under the grill for 5-7 minutes at a temperature of 180 °C. Whisk 200 ml of Parmalat cream 35 %, spread them on the fruit and sprinkle with grated nutmeg.
Don’t forget to include dairy products in your family menu more often. And of course, indulge your family with creamy desserts. The inspiration for this will give you delicious recipes from Yulia Healthy Food Near Me.
