Fresh Dairy Milk Powder; A Review

Leave a comment

Fresh Dairy full cream milk powder is manufactured in Uganda and distributed in the East African region. It is a wonderful product available in a number of supermarkets in Kenya.

The main reason this milk powder is frequently found in my kitchen is because it makes a good cup of tea or milk, whichever I want. The milk is usually thick enough to make a hot cup of my favourite ginger tea or white coffee. This makes it superior to other milk powder products in the market and therefore it is high in demand.

Compared to other products in the market, Fresh Dairy Milk Powder is very easy to mix with water. Whether you use cold or warm water, a spoonful or two will easily mix, and in a few seconds you have your milk ready to drink.

This wonderful milk powder can also be used in cooking where you first prepare the glass of milk and use it in simmering vegetables like kales, spinach and soups. You can also use it to bake some cakes as well as in making mahamri.

I highly recommend Fresh Dairy Milk Powder. It is worth your money having it in your kitchen all the time.
