What is in condensed milk per serving?
USDA lists the entry “Milk, canned, condensed, sweetened” (SR Legacy). Values below are per 100 g from that entry. The per-ounce and per-cup columns are our calculation from USDA’s portion weights (1 fl oz = 38.2 g, 1 cup = 306 g).
| Nutrient | 100 g | 1 fl oz | 1 cup |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calories | 321 kcal | 123 kcal | 982 kcal |
| Protein | 7.91 g | 3.0 g | 24.2 g |
| Fat | 8.7 g | 3.3 g | 26.6 g |
| Carbohydrate | 54.4 g | 20.8 g | 166.5 g |
| Calcium | 284 mg | 108 mg | 869 mg |
Is condensed milk healthy?
We found no NIH, FDA or NHS page that lists health benefits for condensed milk, so we make no benefit claim. The numbers show why: it has about five times the calories of whole cow’s milk (61 kcal per 100 g in USDA) because water is removed and sugar is added. Most of the carbohydrate comes from that sugar and from milk’s own lactose.
How does it compare with regular milk?
Per 100 g, it has more protein, fat and calcium than whole milk, but those amounts come with far more energy and carbohydrate. If you watch sugar or calories, a spoonful is a very different thing from a glass.
If you have diabetes or another condition, ask a doctor or dietitian before adding it to your diet.
