Tag: Water content in milk

Milk contains, on average, over 85% water, but this percentage varies significantly across different types due to fat, protein, and sugar content. The perception of which milk is more watery is often determined by its total solids and how it's processed, rather than just the fluid content alone.

Did you know that whole cow's milk is actually closer to 87-88% water? While many people may have heard that milk is 85% water, the true percentage is slightly higher, making it a very effective hydrating beverage that also delivers essential nutrients.
