Leche descremada, or skim milk, is a staple in many cuisines around the world and originates from the process of removing most of the cream content from whole milk. This dairy product retains essential nutrients like calcium, protein, and vitamins such as B12 and D, while significantly reducing fat and calorie content compared to whole milk. Popular in health-conscious diets, it is often used in smoothies, cereals, baked goods, and beverages. Skim milk is ideal for those aiming to support bone health without the additional fats, making it a heart-friendly option. However, the removal of fat may slightly diminish its creaminess and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Fortified versions are available to make up for any nutritional gaps. Whether enjoyed on its own or incorporated into recipes, leche descremada is a versatile and nutritious option for maintaining a balanced diet.
