Cub Fat Free Milk
What it is
This is a dairy beverage that has had its fat content removed. It is a liquid that comes from cows. The milk is pasteurized, a process that heats it to kill harmful bacteria. It is then homogenized, which breaks down fat globules so they are evenly distributed. This ensures a consistent texture and appearance. It is a common staple in many households for drinking and cooking.
