Great Value Instant Nonfat Dry Milk vs Nestle Nido Dry Whole Milk Powder

Buy the Great Value pouches if you want a lean, shelf-stable milk for cooking, baking, coffee or emergency storage; buy Nido if you want a richer whole-milk drink for kids or the family. Great Value is nonfat and fortified with vitamins A and D, sold in small pouches that keep well once opened. Nido is whole milk with fat, iron and a wider vitamin blend, and its large canister suits daily use. Owners rate Nido slightly higher, but both are well reviewed and neither is a gourmet fresh-milk substitute.

• Choose the Great Value dry milk if you cook and bake with milk powder, want fat-free and fortified with A and D, or need small pouches for storage and emergencies.
• Choose the Nido if you want a creamy whole-milk drink for children or the family, with iron and a broader vitamin mix, in a large canister for daily mixing.
