■ Keep fresh milk refrigerated as much as possible - as soon as you take it home and right after each use.
Fat-free, 1%, 2% and whole milk have increasing amounts of fat and calories but the same nutrients
including protein, calcium, potassium, phosphorus and vitamins A, D, B2, B3 and B12.
Other forms of milk have the same nutritional value as fresh milk:
❁ Look for a date on the package to help you know how soon to use it.
❁ Milk sold in larger cartons and jugs is usually cheaper per ounce. Buy only the amount you can use before it spoils, or plan to freeze any extra.
❁ Powdered milk may cost the least.
