Powdered milk, which comes in 25kg bags, is a dry powder made from cow’s milk. The milk is dried to remove water, making it easy to store and transport for long periods without refrigeration. Powdered milk is used in a variety of applications, including baking, confectionery, beverage preparation, and processed foods. It is often reconstituted with the addition of water to produce a liquid milk similar to fresh milk. Powdered milk has a longer shelf life and is easier to store and transport than liquid milk.
