1% milk
Dairy
Top 10 pairings
1% milk (also called low-fat milk) is cow's milk standardised to about 1% milkfat — a step lighter than 2% reduced-fat milk and one step above fat-free skim. Removing most of the cream cuts the fat and calories again while leaving the protein, lactose, calcium and other milk solids essentially intact. It pours thinner and tastes cleaner and less rich than whole or 2% milk, with only a faint creaminess and the same mild lactose sweetness.

These cues are Milk's, and hold across its varieties; where this one differs, its own page says so.
