Smith Brothers Farms Lactose Free Whole Milk
What it is
This is whole milk that has been treated to remove lactose, the natural sugar found in milk. Enzymes are added to break down lactose into simpler sugars, making it easier to digest for individuals with lactose intolerance. It retains the creamy texture and rich flavor of regular whole milk. This product is pasteurized for safety and freshness.
How people cook with it
This milk is a versatile ingredient for both drinking and cooking. It can be used in many of the same ways as regular milk.
- Drinking straight from the glass
- Adding to cereal
- Baking cakes and cookies
- Making creamy sauces
Enjoy this milk chilled as a beverage. It can be poured over breakfast cereals, granola, or oatmeal for a smooth and satisfying start to the day. In baking, it contributes moisture and richness to batters for muffins, pancakes, and breads. It is also excellent for creating smooth and flavorful sauces, gravies, and creamy soups. When cooking, it can be substituted cup-for-cup for regular whole milk in most recipes, offering the same culinary results without the digestive discomfort for those sensitive to lactose.
How it differs from similar foods
The primary difference is the absence of lactose. While regular whole milk contains lactose, this version has had the lactose broken down. This makes it suitable for people who experience digestive issues after consuming dairy products containing lactose. The fat content and overall milk solids remain similar to conventional whole milk.
Who it is for
This milk is ideal for households that include individuals who are lactose intolerant but still wish to enjoy dairy products.
How to keep the rest
Keep refrigerated at all times. After opening, ensure the container is tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. It is best consumed within the 'use by' date indicated on the packaging. Store away from strong odors.
