Was ist Whey?
Whey is the liquid by-product of cheese production, separated from the milk curds. It is a complex mixture of proteins, lactose, minerals, and vitamins, valued for its nutritional density and versatility.
"Beyond its popular use as a protein supplement, liquid whey can be a secret ingredient for adding tang and moisture to baked goods or fermenting vegetables."
