About Light evaporated milk
Light evaporated milk is a concentrated milk product made by removing about 60% of water from fresh milk. Originating from traditional European preservation techniques, it offers a creamy texture and mild flavor, making it a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes worldwide. Light evaporated milk contains around half the fat of regular evaporated milk, making it a lighter option while still providing protein, calcium, and essential vitamins such as vitamin D. It’s commonly used in soups, sauces, baked goods, and desserts, particularly in Latin American and Southeast Asian cuisine. While it contains less fat than its full-fat counterpart, it is not entirely fat-free and can be high in sugars depending on the recipe it’s used in. Moderation is recommended for those watching calorie or sugar intake, but it’s a valuable, shelf-stable option for cooking and enhancing dairy richness without using heavy cream.
