dry milk

About This Food

Dry milk, also known as milk powder, is a manufactured dairy product made by evaporating milk to dryness. It's widely consumed due to its long shelf life and ease of storage. The calories in dry milk is 243.4 per 100g. It provides a good source of protein and calcium, essential for muscle building and bone health. Additionally, it contains vitamin D, which aids in calcium absorption. However, it is generally higher in lactose than fresh milk, which might not be suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance. For most adults, incorporating 25-50g of dry milk per day can be a part of a balanced diet. It can support weight gain or maintain weight, depending on your overall calorie intake. A small tip: Consider using it in smoothies or baking to increase protein content. Be aware of added sugars in some brands.
