Powdered milk or dry milk is a dairy product that is made by evaporating milk until it becomes a dry, powdery substance. This type of milk is popular for its long shelf life and convenience, as it is easy to store and transport. Synonyms for powdered milk include milk powder, dried milk, instant milk, and milk solids. These terms are often used interchangeably and refer to the same product. Powdered milk can be used in a variety of dishes such as baked goods, soups, and as a substitute for fresh milk in recipes. It is a practical and cost-effective option for those who cannot access fresh milk or want a longer-lasting alternative.
