Question 1

How many cups(dry)/servings to a pound?  I have looked over the product info and the reviews and can't don't seem to see that info anywhere.

Accepted Answer

Dear Wild Wandering Child.  I hardly ever serve someone a cup of dry powder (unless I don't like them very much), but...here is some information that I hope will answer your question.  To make a cup of milk takes 3.25 tablespoons of mix.  That weighs .077 pounds, 1.25 ounces, or 37 grams.  A cup of powder weighs .28 pounds, 4.48 ounces or 128 grams.  Mind you this is with my little kitchen scale and some non-perfectionist weighing protocols.  That means that a cup of powder would make 3.5 cups of milk. Cheers!

Question 2

Is the milk used for this powder free of rHbg and other added hormones?

Accepted Answer

I spent several hours researching and reading about the rhbg information.  I sent an email to Hoosier Hill Farm.  Unlike others who say they have not heard from them I received an answer the next morning, 12 hours after sending it.  Here is what they said about the hormones in their entire statement.QUOTE:Thank you for your letter.  First, let me start by saying the policy of Hoosier Hill Farm is to provide products free of any bovine growth hormone drugs (including rBST). Our milk supplier(s) have signed affidavits stating that they do not use these drugs. Therefore, we can certify that our products are free from these hormones. So, yes, all of our milk products ARE free from bovine growth hormones.As to our product descriptors on Amazon, we are working with Amazon to update the information on many of our products to provide our customers with the most updated and accurate information about our product.  Please continue to check back to our pages to see this information as it populates there.Sincerely, Hoosier Hill Farm LLCUNQUOTE:I have never heard of them nor have I tried their products, though I order the powered milk because I am 70 and have trouble getting out.  I will be posting my review when that happens this week.UPDATE: I thought I had updated this but got busy.This is slim milk in powder form.  After using for the first half of the bottle and then decided to compare the taste to regular Vitamin D milk.  This dry milk looses the taste with cereal. Milk with cereal has a taste that adds to the cereal but this dry milk does not have that.  To me it taste like the 2% milk and that is not Vitamin D milk.  I had a bowl with this and one bowl with Vitamin D milk.  I ended up throwing out the remaining bottle because I could not take the taste anymore.  This is my experience, just do not like using 2% milk, taste like flavored water to me.

Question 3

A cup of milk has about 150 calories. What have they added to this milk product to make a serving size contain 499 calories?

Accepted Answer

It seems like the nutrition information printed on this product's label is completely off -- for example, my label says that a 13-gram serving of the powder contains 225 grams of cholesterol, which  makes no sense (it doesn't even make sense if you change the grams to mg).However, I would have no reason to believe that this powder is nutritionally any different from regular whole milk, if diluted properly.

Question 4

how much liquid milk will it make ?

Accepted Answer

Can those who have used/have knowledge of this, agree it will make about 35 cups...@ 3 Tsps/cup of water, when re-constituted? Also, reviews are either THE BEST or NEVER AGAIN. I am hopeful that the most negative comments are based on an inevitable, but again...hopefully rare, 'bad lot'.  Since there ARE Lot #s/'Best By Dates' on each container, maybe those who had the worst experiences with the product, have 're-sourced' the containers...as I often do...and can possibly share that info, as well?? My first container was only delivered today, so I will let the growing number of, we consumers who are seeking more 'shelf stable equivalent' food items...including those my Mom referred to as 'SNOWSTORM/EMERGENCY FRENCH TOAST'...milk, bread, butter & eggs...along with other 'perishables', I admit WERE things I felt was little more than a bit annoying, when I found no more on hand/had allowed them to spoil, when wanted/needed...UNTIL March, 2020...what my experience is with the Whole Milk Powder, Butter Powder...as well as the...canned...'whole egg' product, I look forward NOT 2B reminiscent of the, 'Dr. Suess-esque powdered eggs', I came to EXPECT on school/hospital cafeteria trays, in the past...ordered/delivered with many of my other, 'Subscribe & Save' items, but made by another company...in the coming days/weeks. BETTER TO ALL IN 2021...THO I BELIEVE WE WILL NEED CONTINUED INCREASED PATIENCE, AS WELL AS RESPECT, UNDERSTANDING, COMPASSION & SHARING OF 'LESSONS LEARNED'/IDEAS FOR HELPING ONE ANOTHER 'NAVIGATE' THIS, FOR THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE...
