What does homogenised mean on my Pura milk carton?
The fat in milk is cream. Cream is lighter than milk and floats to the top as a layer. Milk that has not been homogenised has a top layer of cream with liquid skim milk below. When milk is homogenised, the fat is broken up into very small sized particles, which are evenly distributed throughout the milk. This produces milk with an even consistency, from the first glass to the last. To make reduced, skim or non fat milk, the fat is separated (as cream) and removed from regular milk.
