Half-fat milk, also known as reduced-fat milk, is a dairy product containing approximately 1-2% fat, striking a balance between skim and whole milk. Originating from traditional dairy practices, it has become a staple in many cuisines worldwide, particularly in Western diets, where it is favored for its creamy texture and reduced calorie content. Rich in essential nutrients like calcium, protein, and vitamin D, half-fat milk supports bone health and muscle maintenance. Compared to whole milk, its lower fat content makes it a lighter option for those monitoring caloric intake or saturated fat consumption. However, it still retains enough fat to deliver a satisfying taste and help absorb fat-soluble vitamins. While its reduced fat may slightly impact fullness compared to whole milk, half-fat milk remains a versatile choice for drinking, cooking, and baking while promoting a balanced diet.
