Organic Reduced Fat Milk
What it is
This is organic milk that has had some of its fat removed. It comes from cows raised on organic farms, meaning they are not given antibiotics or synthetic growth hormones, and their feed is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The milk is pasteurized to ensure safety. It offers a balance between the richness of whole milk and the lighter feel of skim milk.
How people cook with it
Milk is a versatile ingredient used in both sweet and savory cooking. It can be enjoyed on its own or incorporated into a wide range of dishes.

It is also a key component in making creamy sauces and gravies, providing a smooth base. When making smoothies, it contributes to a lighter texture compared to whole milk. It can also be used to reconstitute dried milk powder or as a base for custards and puddings.
