What it is
This is a gallon of lowfat milk from Dierbergs. It contains 1% milkfat, which is less than whole milk but more than skim milk. It is pasteurized and homogenized for safety and consistency.

How people cook with it
Milk is a versatile ingredient in many kitchens. It can be enjoyed on its own or used in a wide variety of recipes.
- Pouring over cereal
- Adding to coffee
- Baking cakes
- Making smoothies
Lowfat milk can be used in almost any application where milk is called for. It is suitable for drinking straight from the carton, adding to your morning cereal, or incorporating into baked goods like muffins and cookies. It can also be used to create creamy sauces, gravies, or as a base for soups. When cooking, it can be heated gently for beverages or used in recipes that require simmering. Its lower fat content makes it a lighter option for many dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to whole milk, lowfat milk has a thinner consistency and a less rich flavor due to its reduced fat content. It is also lighter in color. Skim milk, on the other hand, has virtually no fat and is even thinner and more watery.
Who it is for
This milk is commonly used by families and individuals who prefer a lower fat dairy option for everyday consumption and cooking.
How to keep the rest
After opening, keep the milk refrigerated at or below 40°F (4°C). Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. Consume the milk before the expiration date printed on the carton for the best quality.
