Celebrate dairy this month
June is Dairy Month, which makes it a perfect time to learn more about this tasty treat.
Dairy is not only yummy, it's also a powerhouse food full of nine essential nutrients, including:
- calcium
- potassium
- phosphorus
- protein
- vitamin A
- vitamin D
- B12
- riboflavin
- niacin
Three servings of low-fat or fat-free dairy foods improve overall diet quality and reduce the risk of various chronic diseases.
Enjoy dairy in products like this:
- cheese
- butter
- yogurt
- ice cream
- cream
- buttermilk
And we can't forget where all that dairy goodness comes from--dairy cows!
