Lactaid
Lactaid Whole Milk
What it is
This is a carton of whole milk that has been treated with lactase enzyme. Lactase is naturally present in the digestive system and helps break down lactose, the sugar found in milk. By adding this enzyme during processing, the lactose in the milk is broken down into simpler sugars, making it easier to digest for those with lactose intolerance.
How people cook with it
Whole milk is a versatile dairy product used in countless culinary applications, both for drinking and cooking.
- Drinking straight from a glass
- Adding to cereal
- Baking cakes and cookies
- Making creamy sauces
This whole milk can be used just like regular milk in most recipes. Pour it over your morning cereal or into your coffee. It adds richness and moisture to baked goods like muffins, pancakes, and breads. It's also excellent for creating smooth and creamy sauces, gravies, and soups. For a simple treat, warm it up and enjoy it with a touch of honey. Its fat content contributes to a tender crumb in baked items and a satisfying mouthfeel in beverages.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular whole milk, this product has had the lactose pre-digested by the addition of lactase enzyme. This makes it suitable for individuals who experience digestive discomfort after consuming dairy products containing lactose. The taste and texture are very similar to conventional whole milk.
Who it is for
This milk is for anyone who enjoys the taste and benefits of whole milk but needs a lactose-free option.
How to keep the rest
Keep this milk refrigerated at all times. Once opened, it should be consumed within a specific number of days, as indicated on the carton. Ensure the cap is securely closed after each use to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. Do not freeze this milk.
