Evaporated milk is a concentrated dairy product created by removing about 60% of the water content from fresh milk through a gentle heating process. This results in a creamy, shelf-stable product commonly used in baking, cooking, and beverages. Originally popularized in the United States during the early 20th century as a reliable, long-lasting alternative to fresh milk, it has since become a staple in many cuisines worldwide, including desserts in Latin and Southeast Asian cuisine. Evaporated milk is rich in protein, calcium, and essential vitamins like Vitamin D, making it beneficial for bone and muscle health. However, it is also higher in saturated fat compared to regular milk, so it should be consumed in moderation by those mindful of heart health. Unsweetened evaporated milk differs from sweetened condensed milk, as it contains no added sugar, allowing for versatile usage in both savory and sweet recipes.
