What it is
This is a dairy beverage that has undergone a process to reduce its fat content to one percent. It is pasteurized, which means it has been heated to kill harmful bacteria. The milk is homogenized, ensuring the fat is evenly distributed throughout the liquid. This product is a common staple in many households for drinking and cooking.
How people cook with it
Milk is a versatile ingredient used in both sweet and savory dishes. It can be enjoyed on its own or incorporated into a wide range of recipes.

- Adding to cereal
This lowfat milk can be consumed directly from the carton, chilled for a refreshing drink. It is also a key component in baking, providing moisture and richness to cakes, muffins, and breads. In savory cooking, it forms the base for smooth sauces, gravies, and creamy soups. It can be used to reconstitute dried milk powder or to thin out other liquids. Its mild flavor makes it suitable for a variety of culinary applications.
