Foremost Foods Saipan representatives will be at Triple J Super Fresh Market from 4 to 6 p.m. today. Tomorrow, Dec. 18, the free milk sampling will be at the Joeten Hafadai Shopping Center from 10 a.m. to 12 noon.
Glen D. Hunter, group business manager of Transpacific International Inc., said they are delighted to share Foremost non-fat milk products with the community.
“Non-fat milk offers all the health benefits of milk — without the fat. Milk is an important part of any diet and Foremost now offers a variety for those looking at lowering fat intake,” Hunter said.
Studies suggest non-fat milk is often considered superior to whole milk, he added.
With the removal of most of the fat typically found in whole milk, non-fat, or skim, milk is higher in nutrients.
Hunter said a study noted that 8 oz of non-fat milk contains more protein (8.7 g for non-fat; 7.9 g for whole milk), more calcium (349 mg compared to whole milk’s 276.1 mg) more potassium (419 mg compared to 349 mg in whole milk) and less cholesterol (5 mg compared to whole milk’s 24 mg).
“Non-fat milk can refuel muscles with carbohydrates, reduce muscle damage and improve muscle recovery. It also contains electrolytes that help replenish the body after workout. It is also ideal in helping regulate weight loss,” he added.
Foremost Non-Fat Milk is approved by the Women, Infant & Children program. This means that recipients with WIC voucher indicating “1% and Skim Milk” may select this new variety as a healthier alternative.
Foremost Non-Fat Milk comes in quart size and is available at most retail stores in the CNMI.
With over 60 years in the business, Foremost continues to bring healthy products that make it truly “part of your life.”
