What it is
This is a carton of fat-free milk, also known as skim milk. It is made from cow's milk that has had nearly all of its fat removed. The milk is pasteurized, a process that heats it to kill harmful bacteria, making it safe for consumption. It is a common dairy beverage enjoyed by many people.
How people cook with it
Milk is a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory cooking. It can be used as a base for sauces, a liquid in baked goods, or simply enjoyed on its own.
- Pouring over cereal
- Adding to coffee
- Baking cakes
- Making smoothies
Fat-free milk can be used in most recipes that call for milk. It is a good choice when you want the liquid and creamy texture without the richness of higher-fat milks.

For beverages, it can be enjoyed chilled, heated for hot chocolate, or blended into shakes and smoothies.
