Which has higher nutritional value: milk skin or milk?
Cream (milk skin) and milk both have high nutritional value, but regular milk generally offers greater nutritional benefits.
Cream typically refers to the coagulated layer formed on the surface when milk is heated. It is part of the milk and contains about 80% of the milk's fat, along with small amounts of protein and other nutrients. Excessive consumption may negatively affect cardiovascular health. Most of the essential nutrients, however, are found beneath the cream layer—within the milk itself—including calcium, iron, zinc, protein, and vitamins. These nutrients help nourish the body and boost immunity, contributing positively to overall health.
In daily life, drinking an appropriate amount of milk can help supplement calcium and support the prevention of osteoporosis.
