Milk Powder / خشک دودھ / khushk doodh / 1kg

Milk Powder is a high-quality, dehydrated form of fresh milk that retains all the essential nutrients, flavor, and richness of regular milk. Carefully processed to remove moisture while preserving protein, calcium, and other vital nutrients, it offers a convenient and long-lasting alternative to liquid milk. Its smooth texture makes it easy to dissolve in water, tea, coffee, or other beverages, delivering a creamy and wholesome taste every time.

This versatile ingredient is widely used in cooking and baking, from preparing desserts, sauces, and soups to enhancing the flavor of tea, coffee, and smoothies. Milk Powder is ideal for households, restaurants, and commercial kitchens, providing a reliable, nutritious, and convenient source of milk without the need for refrigeration. Its purity, long shelf life, and rich taste make it a must-have pantry essential for daily use and culinary creativity.

FAQs  

What is the ratio of powder to water? 

A standard ratio is 1 part milk powder to 4 parts water by volume (e.g., 1/4 cup powder + 1 cup water = 1 cup of full cream milk). You can adjust this to make it richer or lighter.  

Can I use milk powder in place of fresh milk in all recipes? 

Yes, in almost all cases. For baking, you often add the dry powder with the dry ingredients and use water as the liquid. For drinks or sauces, reconstitute it first or whisk the dry powder in directly.  

How long does it last once opened?  

When stored in an absolutely airtight container in a cool, dry place, it can last for several months. Always check for any change in smell or color, and ensure no moisture gets in.  

Does it taste the same as fresh milk? 

When properly reconstituted with cold water and chilled, high-quality full cream milk powder tastes very close to fresh pasteurized milk, making it perfect for drinking and everyday use.  

Is it suitable for babies or making infant formula?  

No. This is regular full cream milk powder for general consumption. It is **not** a substitute for commercially prepared, nutritionally complete infant formula for babies under 12 months.
