Milk, evaporated, light

Light evaporated milk is milk that has had some of its water removed to make it more concentrated, with a reduced fat content compared with standard evaporated milk. It provides protein, carbohydrate, fat and calcium. Per 100g, it contains 7.8g of protein, 10g of carbohydrate, 4.1g of fat and 260mg of calcium. These figures refer to the milk as supplied, before any dilution.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while calcium is needed for normal bones and teeth. Milk sugars include lactose, which may cause digestive symptoms in people with lactose intolerance. Although this is a light product, it still contains saturated fat, which is worth noting when monitoring saturated fat intake. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
