Boiled Milk

Whether you heat your milk for health or culinary reasons, you might wonder how boiling may affect it.

Iran PressHealth: In fact, boiled milk’s nutritional profile and health benefits are different than those of milk straight from the carton.

People often boil milk when they use it in cooking. You can boil raw milk to kill any harmful bacteria. However, boiling milk is usually unnecessary, as most milk in the grocery store is already pasteurized.

Milk is a very nutritious food with a wide range of nutrients. When you boil it, some of the vitamins break down. Some of the fat, protein, and carbs may also change.

Drinking boiled milk has pros and cons. You will get less riboflavin and digestible protein, but you might benefit from more short- and medium-chain fats. People with lactose intolerance and milk allergies may tolerate boiled milk better.

To boil milk, heat it slowly, stir it while it heated, and make sure you do not overcook it. Turn the heat off as soon as you see bubbles that indicate it’s boiling. If you continue to stir it as it cools, it’ll be less likely to form a skin on top.
