Milk contains a protein called casein. This protein gives milk its characteristic white colour. It is of high nutritional value because it contains all the essential amino acids required by man's body. The curd forms because of the chemical reaction between lactic acid bacteria and casein. When curd is added to milk, the lactic acid bacteria present in it cause coagulation of casein and thus convert it into curd.

Man has been using curd for a long time. It is very useful for stomach ailments. It keeps the

digestive system in good order. In the ancient times curd was sold as a medicine. Curd bacteria clean the intestinal system. According to some experts the regular consumption of curd keeps the stomach free from ailments. Curd is used in different ways by different people. Some use it with a little of salt while others use it with sugar. In Bengal, sugar is added to milk before converting it into curd. This is sold as sweet curd and called as "Shri Khand" in Madhya Pradesh.
