Curd是什麼意思

"Curd" is a dairy product that is made by coagulating milk in order to separate the curds (solid particles) from the whey (liquid). The coagulation is typically achieved by adding an acidic substance such as lemon juice, vinegar, or a bacterial culture to milk, which causes the milk proteins (casein) to precipitate and form curds.

The curds are then strained from the whey, and they can be used in a variety of ways. In some cultures, curds are eaten fresh, while in others they are used as a base for cheeses. The texture of curds can range from creamy and spreadable to firm and sliceable, depending on how they are processed and how long they are aged.

In many parts of the world, curds are a staple food and are used in cooking and baking, as well as being eaten on their own as a snack or a side dish. They are a good source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients, and they are often prized for their rich, tangy flavor.
