Here’s a myth-buster: Milk powder is really not as bad as people make it out to be. It’s just evaporated dried milk and is usually processed in a way that none of its nutrients are lost. Often laden with vitamins and minerals, milk powder has a much longer shelf life, ideal for those who don’t always add milk in their tea of coffee. And you can get them as per your needs – plant-based, skimmed/non-skimmed, lactose or no lactose, etc.
One of the other biggest advantages of keeping powdered milk handy is that this product is portable and has a longer shelf life. Carry them around when you go to work or even when you travel. Plus they can be used to replace milk in desserts, cakes, curries, etc. Just add hot water as per requirement and you’re good to go. Here’s our list of different kinds of milk powder brands to choose from.

The Milky Story
The modern version of powdered milk dates back to 1802 when Russian physician Osip invented it. However, the commercial production didn’t happen until 1832, which was organized by Russian chemist M Dirchoff. In 1855, TS Grimwade took a patent on a dried milk procedure, though William Newton had patented a vacuum drying process as early as 1837.
