What grocery stores call skim milk is a nasty concoction. First, the dairy skims the cream off unhomogonized milk, leaving behind a thin foul-tasting wattery liquid. Traidtionally, this 'skimmed milk' was fed to pigs, as it was unpaletable to humans. Eventually, somebody came up with the idea of adding dehydrated skim milk to the mix to give it more 'body' and (slightly) improve the taste. The result is marketed as 'low-fat milk'. If you do drink milk, whole is considerably better than skim/2% etc. If you are near a dairy farm and trust the farmer, raw is the best of course. |
