Skimmed milk

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

Skimmed milk (United Kingdom), or skim milk (United States of America) is made when all the cream (also called milkfat) is removed from whole milk. Sometimes only half the cream is removed, this is called semi skimmed milk. Skimmed milk is more popular in the United States than Britain. Skimmed milk contains less fat then whole milk and so some people think it is more healthy.

  • Whole milk is about 4% fat.
  • Semi skimmed milk is about 2% fat.
  • Skimmed milk is about 1% fat.
