About EVAPORATED MILK
Great Value Evaporated Milk is a Walmart private-label staple from the Great Value sub-brand, sold in standard 12 oz cans. Evaporated milk is produced by slowly heating fresh cow's milk under vacuum until roughly 60 percent of its water content has been removed, resulting in a thick, shelf-stable liquid with a slightly caramelized flavor. The ingredient list is minimal: milk, dipotassium phosphate (a stabilizer that prevents curdling when heated), carrageenan (a seaweed-derived thickener that keeps the emulsion smooth), and vitamin D3 for fortification.
Per 100 ml the product delivers approximately 133 calories, with 6.7 g of protein, 10 g of carbohydrates, and 6.7 g of fat, making it a calorie-dense ingredient best used in measured amounts. It contains no fiber. Because the sole protein source is dairy milk, this product contains milk as a major allergen; it is not suitable for lactose-intolerant individuals or anyone following a dairy-free diet. The carrageenan ingredient may be a consideration for those with inflammatory bowel sensitivity.
In the kitchen, evaporated milk is prized for adding creaminess to soups, sauces, pumpkin pie, fudge, and slow-cooker mac and cheese without the fat load of heavy cream. It reconstitutes as a fluid milk substitute when mixed with an equal volume of water. The Great Value version offers comparable functionality to national brands at a lower price point, making it a budget-friendly pantry essential.
