Ask the Test Kitchen
I purchase 2 percentage milk and dilute it by half with water to make my personal 1 percentage milk at 1/2 the value. Is this clever, or am I just fooling myself? —V.M., Glenwood, IowaThe distinction among 1 percentage, 2 percent and complete milk is the fats and calorie content. The 1 percent milk is 99 percentage fats-free; 2 percent milk is 98 percentage fats-free; and whole milk contains approximately three-half of percent fat.
All 3 incorporate the equal quantity of nutrients and minerals. By including water, you’re diluting the vitamins and minerals. Your first-class wager is to select 1 percent milk to get the total benefit of its nutrients.
