Roundy's
Roundy's 100% Lactose Free Milk
What it is
This is cow's milk that has been treated to remove lactose. Lactose is a natural sugar found in milk. The process involves adding an enzyme called lactase, which breaks down lactose into simpler sugars. This makes the milk easier to digest for individuals who are lactose intolerant. It is a good alternative for those who experience digestive discomfort after consuming dairy products.
How people cook with it
This milk is a versatile ingredient that can be used in many of the same ways as regular milk.

- Making creamy sauces
You can pour this lactose-free milk over your morning cereal for a familiar taste and texture. It works wonderfully in coffee or tea, blending smoothly without curdling. When baking, it can be substituted cup-for-cup in recipes for cakes, muffins, and pancakes, contributing moisture and richness. It's also excellent for creating smooth and creamy sauces, gravies, or even homemade ice cream. Its neutral flavor ensures it complements a wide range of dishes without altering the intended taste.

Unlike regular milk, this product has had its lactose content significantly reduced through an enzymatic process. This difference makes it suitable for people who have difficulty digesting lactose, preventing common digestive issues associated with dairy consumption.
