MILK THE COMPLETE FOOD
Milk is nature’s own food. It contains all the food elements necessary
for body growth, protein, mineral salts, carbohydrates, fats, vitamines
and water. It is the indispensable food for the young. It lends itself
to a great variety of uses in the correct diet of the individual.
Modern housekeeping demands that a supply of a quality brand of canned
milk be in every pantry.
As an addition to coffee or tea, evaporated milk has long been a
recognized boon. Now, however, the convenience of this as a pantry
staple for the country, town or city home cannot be overestimated. It
is ever ready for the milk or cream call necessary to the completion of
a perfect festive meal, or the easily digested milk toast or eggnog for
the convalescent as well as the everyday baking need.
According to latest scientific experiments, the growth properties known
as vitamines, so rich in milk, are in no way affected by the process of
water elimination used to produce evaporated milk.
Evaporated milk is a product of the greatest importance to all families
far removed from the source of a reliable fresh milk supply. It is just
the pure milk with a large part of the moisture removed. It contains
all the natural butter fats, mineral salts, proteins, and solids of
the fresh milk. Nothing is changed in evaporated milk excepting the
quantity of water in the fluid. For that reason, when canned milk is
used to feed to children it is best to purchase a reliable brand of
evaporated milk. Condensed milk is whole milk reduced by heating; it
differs from evaporated milk in that it has 40% to 44% sugar added.
A high quality evaporated milk contains 26.16% solids and 69.24% water.
A test of the keeping qualities of this product demonstrated that
evaporated milk would keep sweet ten days after the can was opened. On
souring it may be used the same as soured whole milk and with equally
good results.
To use evaporated milk as whole milk, it should be diluted in the
proportion of one cup of evaporated milk to two and one-quarter cups of
water. This will give a product averaging a rich whole milk.
