Low Fat Evaporated Milk is a creamy, shelf-stable dairy product made by removing about 60% of the water content from regular cow's milk, followed by pasteurization and canning. With reduced fat compared to its full-fat counterpart, it provides a lower-calorie option for recipes that require richness and depth. Commonly used in baking, desserts, soups, and sauces, it is a staple in both Western and Latin American cuisines. Nutritionally, it is an excellent source of calcium and vitamin D, essential for maintaining strong bones and overall health. However, it is still a concentrated source of dairy sugars and may contain added stabilizers, so moderation is key in weight-conscious or sugar-sensitive diets. Versatile and convenient, low-fat evaporated milk is a smart choice for achieving creamy textures without the excess fat found in cream or full-fat alternatives.
