Paneer

The milky liquid that is left behind while making the paneer is called Whey. Commercially, this whey is processed & formed into a powder and sold in the market as Whey Protein Powder. Whey protein is considered as a complete protein as it contains all 9 amino acids. This is highly recommended in health and slimming industry as a functional food for its nutritional properties. Research says that this has possible benefit for weight loss and lowering cholesterol level. It’s also been observed that whey improves immune response in children with asthma. According to research published in the International Dairy Journal, found that whey beverages help in reducing blood pressure in the patient with high blood pressure.

Whey

However, at home, it mostly ends down the drain or we either use it for kneading dough or in making dal. This understated whey is actually a power pack house of protein, calcium, and minerals. It also helps in stimulating insulin release. So next time before you wash that nutrition down the drain, think of amazing benefits that you will be wasting.
