Why choose skim, one or two percent milk as whole milk is 3.7 percent fat? Isn't that too little of a difference to worry about? So let's look at the difference in calorie content and the actual amount of fat in milk of each type.

The recommended choice for each adult is skim or 1% (low fat) milk. They contain from 34 to 37 calories per 100 g and from 0.4 to 1.4 g of fat.

Two percent milk contains about 40-42 calories and 2 grams of fat. It is suitable for people with higher calorie needs and those who do not eat a lot of high-fat foods (especially children).

Whole milk is suitable for young children and people who have trouble getting all the fat and calories their bodies need. It has 60-90 calories and 3.6 - 6.5 grams of fat. The values shown refer to 100 grams of yogurt and fresh and calories and fat are more.

In order to skim the milk, a large part or all of the fat is removed, and at the same time vitamin A, mineral salts, milk sugar and proteins are lost. After this process, the milk becomes thinner, less sweet and with a slight bluish tinge.

Its caloric content becomes significantly lower and therefore it is recommended for many diets or health problems that require more limited fat intake.

How to skim milk?

About 75 percent of the fat in milk is contained in cream. Therefore, in order to skim milk, it is necessary to remove it. It is a good idea to leave it in a cool place before you cook it, and after about half an hour a slightly yellowish layer will have formed on its surface.

Carefully remove this layer, because these are actually the fats in the milk. After boiling, leave to cool again and periodically collect the formed cream, so you will prepare homemade skim milk.

The other method by which you can achieve this effect is by beating the oil out of it, which of course is much more time consuming. Leave the milk in a bottle and if it is full, separate some of it.

Start shaking the bottle vigorously for about 15-20 minutes until small granules form on the surface. Then strain through a cotton ball and strain and get homemade skim milk again.
