The texture in certain foods is sometimes everything because it usually gives us that familiar feeling that comforts us. What would a cappuccino be without its foam or a carrot cream that was not spicy and creamy? Luckily, in the kitchen, the answers are usually in the simplest and with essential ingredients, you can improve the texture of your dishes.

The first basic is dairy products, whose science behind it allows us to understand why they are a great option when looking for consistency, from creamy in sauces, to fluffy and moist in bread, so something as simple as milk can function as your ace up your sleeve when you are looking to give a better texture to a soup, for example.

Milk contains fats and proteins, which are responsible for the foam in a cappuccino but also for achieving that thick consistency in sauces, mainly due to its fat content when it comes to whole milk, whose process respects dairy traditions, like Santa Clara Milk.

According to chef Mayte Rueda from kiwilimón, milk in a bread recipe does help, but it must be whole since its protein and fat content will satisfy the bread and retain moisture a little more. So if you love a good sandwich for breakfast or just a slice of bread with butter and jam, try making homemade box bread with Whole Milk.

If b, breakfast should be a more filling dish for you, then some creamy enfrijoladas are ideal. When you prepare them, cook the sauce over medium-low heat to achieve an even creamier consistency.

A straightforward way to achieve better textures is to thicken the milk, which will only require reducing it first, that is, heating it over low heat so that the water in it evaporates and, as a consequence, the milk thickens naturally; You can practice this tip with your dairy coffee and check the difference in creaminess.

Finally, using fruits such as bananas or mamey with whole milk in your smoothies will give them the necessary touch to crown your breakfast, as these fruits give the milk a thicker consistency. The key is using a milk or dairy product with creaminess, texture, high-quality ingredients, and great flavour.
