2% low-fat milk is a type of cow's milk that contains approximately 2% fat, making it an intermediate option between whole milk and skim or non-fat milk. It is characterized by offering an ideal balance between creamy flavor and lower calorie content.
This type of milk is very popular in various Spanish-speaking regions, especially in Latin America and Spain, where a healthier alternative is often sought without sacrificing the texture and nutritional contribution of traditional milk.
Properties: 2% low-fat milk is an excellent source of calcium, protein, B-complex vitamins (such as riboflavin and B12), and other nutrients essential for bone development and muscle maintenance. Having a lower fat content than whole milk, it is ideal for those who wish to control their calorie or fat intake without giving up the benefits of milk.
Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: it is also commonly known as semi-skimmed milk, partially skimmed milk, or simply low-fat milk. In some countries, the term may vary slightly, but all refer to the same type of milk with an intermediate fat level.
