Organic Dry Milk
From LoveToKnow Organic
Organic dry milk combines all the goodness of organic milk with the convenience of dry or powdered milk. It is amongst the best milk that a shopper can buy! The organic standard means that the cows have been raised and farmed in a natural way, free from artificial hormones, pesticides or other harsh chemicals. The milk that is produced is of the highest quality and this is then processed and supplied in different forms including organic dry milk.
Types of Organic Dry Milk
Dry milk is available in many forms including whole milk (full fat), reduced fat milk, and non fat versions. This wide variety of milks means that there is a type of milk available for people whatever their needs.
Low and non fat organic milks are ideal for people who watch their fat intake but are looking for a high quality source of calcium, whereas whole milk offers nutritious milk that is full of energy. This is ideal for young and growing children, as well as elderly and sick people who require a high energy food source.
Dry or powdered milk is sold in packets or jars of different sizes, making this a good choice for both families and people on their own. Packets are ideal for refilling jars and reduce the amount of packaging that might otherwise end up in landfill.
Benefits of Dry Organic Milk
There are many benefits to dry organic milk and these include:
- Convenience – This is a useful way to buy milk that can be reconstituted when needed. This is particularly beneficial for people who perhaps do not use a lot of milk or families with different needs.
- Reduces Shopping – Organic dry milk has a long life and therefore there is no need to buy milk during every shopping visit. Powdered milk can also be purchased from online retailers which is convenient for busy families.
- Cost Saving – Dry milk can be bought in bulk and therefore this can work out more cost effective than buying bottles of milk.
- Less Waste – Just the necessary amount of dry milk can be reconstituted which means that there is less waste.
Using Organic Powdered Milk
Organic powdered milk can be used in the same way as conventional dried milk. In addition to reconstituting the milk to create a nutritious and satisfying drink, organic powdered milk can be used in cooking. This is an ideal way to enrich soups, stews and other dishes. Dried milk can also be used in hot drinks such as organic coffee. Some ways that organic milk can be used include:
- Omelets – Omelets using organic eggs are both suitable for a vegetarian and those interested in an organic lifestyle. A spoon of dry organic powdered milk will add creaminess and richness to the omelet.
- Baking – Dry milk is ideal for use in backing. It blends well with other ingredients and adds the benefits of milk without diluting the mix. Organic dried milk is perfect for making organic cakes and breads.
- Toppings – Mixing dried milk with half the required amount of water creates a thick 'cream'. This makes a lovely topping for desserts. This can be whipped to create a whipped topping.
