We are a family that goes through a lot of milk each month. I thought it would be fun to share some information about milk that you might not know.
- Milk found in your grocery is called shelf stable milk and can sit on pantry shelves for up to several months with NO refrigeration or preservations added.
- Teen years are when bone growth is at is peak, so its critical teens eat calcium-rich foods and limit soda.
- Milk contains 9 essential nutrients and vitamins: protein vitamins A, D and B12, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, riboflavin, niacin, zinc and magnesium.
- The average American consumes almost 25 gallons of milk a year.
- Milk in boxes has the same great taste of milk found in the diary case in other container types.
- The same milk can be found in two different formats: refrigerated and non-refrigerated.
- 99% of all U.S. households purchase milk.

I didn’t really know this a few of these. Thanks for sharing!
We buy refrigerated dairy milk for my husband and almond milk for our daughter. Sometimes we buy shelf stable almond milk for her just so that I have a carton or two on hand if we run out of refrigerated.

I love milk. Breads baked with it are awesome!
Although we only buy almond milk for drinking at home, I buy organic shelf stable milk for the kids’ lunches! I absolutely love the concept.
