Klim

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Klim is a brand of powdered milk sold by Nestlé, which is primarily consumed in areas of the world where fresh milk is not readily available. It was first developed in the early 20th century and has since become a staple in many households worldwide.

History[edit | edit source]

Klim was first developed in the early 20th century by the Merrell Company, a pharmaceutical company based in the United States. The product was initially intended for use in the medical field, but it quickly gained popularity as a household item due to its long shelf life and ease of use.

In the 1920s, the Merrell Company sold the brand to Nestlé, who continued to develop and market the product. Today, Klim is sold in over 60 countries worldwide and is particularly popular in areas where fresh milk is not readily available.

Product[edit | edit source]

Klim is a powdered milk product, which means it is made by evaporating milk to dryness. This process allows the product to have a long shelf life and makes it easy to transport and store. To use Klim, consumers simply mix the powder with water to create a milk-like beverage.

Klim is often used in cooking and baking, as it can be used in the same way as fresh milk. It is also commonly used in coffee and tea, and can be consumed on its own as a beverage.

Nutritional Value[edit | edit source]

Like fresh milk, Klim is a good source of protein and calcium. It also contains vitamins A and D, which are essential for good health. However, because it is a processed product, Klim does not contain the same amount of nutrients as fresh milk.
