Skimmed pasteurised milk is milk that has had most of its fat removed and has been heat-treated to reduce harmful bacteria. The figures describe average milk sampled in summer and winter. It provides protein, carbohydrate and minerals such as calcium. Per 100g, it contains 3.5g of protein, 4.8g of carbohydrate, 125mg of calcium and 0.3g of fat.
Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth. The carbohydrate in plain milk is mainly lactose, a naturally occurring sugar. Skimmed milk has a low fat content, which may be relevant when comparing foods for fat intake. Full nutrient figures, including sugars, saturated fat and energy, are in the tables below.
