Instant skimmed milk powder is a dairy product obtained from skimmed milk that has been dehydrated to turn it into a fine, soluble powder. This ingredient retains most of the nutrients of the original liquid milk but with a reduced fat content, making it ideal for recipes that require low-fat milk without sacrificing texture or flavor.
Its origin lies in the need to preserve milk for extended periods, facilitating its storage and transport, especially in regions where access to fresh products is limited. The manufacturing process removes almost all the fat and water, leaving a milk powder that is easily reconstituted with water, offering a practical and versatile alternative in the kitchen.
The properties of instant skimmed milk powder include a high content of protein, calcium, and other essential minerals, with a low contribution of saturated fats. It is ideal for preparing low-calorie dairy products, desserts, doughs, beverages, and other recipes where milk is required but excess fat is to be avoided.
In different Latin American countries, milk powder may have different names or synonyms, including: skimmed milk powder, fat-free milk powder, instant skimmed milk, or simply instant skimmed milk. In all cases, it refers to the same product: skimmed milk converted into a powder ready to be reconstituted.
