Condensed milk is a rich, creamy liquid made by mixing cow's milk with sugar and removing about 60% of its water content through heating. Originating in the mid-19th century, it gained popularity as a shelf-stable dairy product, especially in European and American cuisines. Today, it's widely used in desserts, beverages, and baked goods globally, notably in dishes from Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Nutritionally, condensed milk is high in calories, sugar, and fat, making it a concentrated source of energy but unsuitable for consistent health-conscious consumption. However, it provides calcium and vitamin D, offering some benefit for bone health. Due to its high sugar content, it is best enjoyed in moderation and balanced alongside more nutrient-dense foods.
