Skim milk
Bos taurus · Dairy
Top 10 pairings
Skim milk — also called nonfat or fat-free milk — is cow's milk with virtually all of its cream removed, leaving the lowest-fat, lowest-calorie grade of fluid milk. It is thinner and more watery than whole milk, with a slightly bluish-white cast and a cleaner, less rounded flavour, but it keeps essentially all of milk's protein, lactose and calcium intact. At roughly a third the calories of whole milk and with almost no fat, it is the dairy choice for people watching saturated fat or energy intake.
