Milk, whole, dried

Whole dried milk is whole milk with most of its water removed to produce a powder. It provides protein, fat and carbohydrate, as well as calcium and other minerals. Per 100g, the powder contains 26g of protein, 26g of fat, 39g of sugars and 1020mg of calcium. These figures describe the dry powder, not milk prepared by adding water.

Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth, while protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. The sugars in plain milk powder are mainly lactose, the sugar naturally present in milk. Whole dried milk also contains saturated fat, which is relevant for people monitoring their intake. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
