Hi Angeline,
Well, I’ve just had a look at a packet of 3.4 percent normal Belarusian milk from my fridge. If I understand the Russian OK, and converting it to 250g, to compare it’s:
Protein 7.25g
Fats 10g
Carbohydrates 11.35
This is ‘full fat milk’ so in fact you would expect the carbs to be slightly lower than your 2 percent, which we would call semi-skimmed. As, in fact, this milk is 11.35g and the lactose free is 8g it seems some of the carbs have disappeared with the lactose.
However it’s still a mystery what those 8g carbs which are left are.
Maybe there is someone who will read this and tell us.
I buy a thing called ‘slivki’ here. It’s a sort of weak cream with 8 percent fat but the same carbs as milk. A little dash has an excellent whitening effect on coffee or tea and therefore I use much less than I would if I used milk.
I wish someone would invent a carb free coffee whitener!
All the best from Belarus.
Robert
