Powdered milk is a powder of a substance that when mixed with water creates a milk drink.Powdered milk is usually packaged in boxes made of cardboard, and is easier stored than liquid milk, which will go rancid after some time if not refrigerated.
Powdered milk is usually created by forcing pasteurized milk through a nozzle with many tiny holes and spraying it against a sheet of hot stainless steel, where the water evaporates and the particles fall off as powdered milk. Although full fat and reduced fat versions are available, these tend to go rancid quickly, so most powdered milk is sold as nonfat dry milk .
Powdered milk was first made in the 20th century and is used extensively today, though still not as popular as conventional milk.
