Skim milk
What is "skim milk"?
Skim milk, also known as fat-free or non-fat milk, is a dairy product that has had the cream removed, resulting in a lower fat content compared to whole milk. It is typically produced by separating the cream from the milk through spinning or other methods. Skim milk keeps all the other nutrients found in whole milk, such as protein, calcium, and vitamins, but it has a much lower fat content, usually less than 0.5% fat. Skim milk is often favored by those looking to reduce their fat intake or manage their weight, as it provides similar nutritional benefits to whole milk but with fewer calories and less saturated fat.
