whey powder

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet, eating her curds and whey;
Along came a spider, who sat down beside her,
And frightened Miss Muffet away.

Do you what she was eating? Odds are it is an old English dish known as Junket. Perhaps the closest thing we have today cottage cheese. You curdle milk to produce curds and whey. Cheeses, sour cream and yogurts are made from curdled milk. All of which pass through a curds and whey stage.

Whey proteins are the watery byproducts of making cheese from milk. Milk is high is casein, whey proteins, lactose and fats. The fats are removed in a centrifuge. The milk sugars, or lactose are also removed. Both the whey isolates and the whey concentrates are produced by further processing the liquid. Whey powder is made by drying it in crystalized form.

Whey powder is a great source of protein. Simulatenously, it is low in carbohydrates and fats. Thus, whey powder has few calories. This makes whey powder an excellent nutritional supplement for dieters. The body will feel full from the high protein drink, and yet overall caloric consumption is less than that of a normal meal.
