Whole milk can be enjoyed chilled as a beverage on its own. In cooking, it adds richness and moisture to baked goods like cakes, muffins, and breads. It is also essential for creating smooth, creamy sauces, gravies, and custards. When making mashed potatoes or other purees, adding whole milk helps achieve a desirable consistency. It can also be blended into smoothies for a fuller flavor and texture.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to lower-fat milks, whole milk has a higher fat content. This results in a richer mouthfeel and a more pronounced dairy flavor. The fat also helps emulsify ingredients in recipes, contributing to a smoother final product.

After opening, store any remaining Hood Whole Milk in its original container in the refrigerator. Keep the cap tightly sealed to prevent spoilage and maintain freshness. It is best consumed before the date printed on the carton.
