CURD Meaning and
Definition
-
Curd is a noun that refers to a form of coagulated or thickened milk that has been separated from the whey. It is a dairy product that is commonly made by adding an acidic substance, such as lemon juice or vinegar, to milk. This acid causes the milk to coagulate, resulting in the formation of curds.
Curd has a distinct soft and lumpy texture, with a creamy white or slightly yellow appearance. It is often used as an ingredient in various culinary preparations, such as desserts, cheeses, and sauces. Curd can also be consumed on its own or paired with fruits, honey, or sugar for added flavor.
In addition to its culinary uses, curd is known for its nutritional value. It is rich in calcium, protein, and vitamins, making it a popular choice among those seeking a healthy and wholesome diet. Due to its probiotic properties, curd is also considered beneficial for digestive health and improving gut flora.
Outside of the culinary realm, the term "curd" can also be used in a broader sense to describe any substance that is thick, lumpy, or coagulated, such as curdled blood or curd forming in some types of paint. However, in the common usage, the term primarily refers to the dairy product.
