What is the difference between Instant and Non-Instant Powdered Milk?
They are both made from nonfat milk and have the same nutritional value.
They don't DISSOLVE the same.
Instant dissolves in cold water by stirring it with a spoon a few times.
Non-Instant dissolves only in warm water and needs to be stirred a lot. It also needs to be chilled before using.
What is the difference between powdered milk and a milk alternative?
Powdered milk contains nonfat dry milk, vitamin A palmitate, and vitamin D3.
A Milk alternative's main ingredient is whey, a byproduct of cheese. Vitamins and minerals are added to make the drink more nutritious.
A milk alternative costs less than fresh milk, but it lacks many of the health benefits.
What Brand of Powdered Milk Should I Buy?
I use Country Cream for drinking and LDS cannery milk for cooking and baking.
Country Cream is my favorite brand. The milk tastes just like milk from the grocery store.
It is more expensive than the powdered milk from the cannery.
I cook and bake with the powdered milk from the cannery because it is cheaper.
