Skim-Milk White Sauce
Skim-Milk White Sauce is a creamy French-style white sauce made from a roux and skim milk, commonly used as a base for gratins, lasagnes and creamy vegetable dishes. It’s a lower-fat variant of classic béchamel, keeping the smooth texture but using skim milk to reduce fat content. Nutritionally, Skim-Milk White Sauce provides about 3.6g of protein per 100g and delivers some calcium and iodine from the milk; it is relatively low in fiber and contains modest saturated fat compared with full‑fat versions. From a health perspective, this skim-milk version keeps the good amino-acid quality of dairy while lowering overall fat compared with traditional recipes, but it remains a processed sauce-like ingredient with little in the way of plant-derived antioxidants or fiber.
