Values per 100 g are from the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 (ICMR–National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad), food code L002 “Milk, whole, Cow”. Serving values are calculated from those figures; serving weights are typical household measures.
Values are per 100 g; 100 ml of milk weighs about 103 g, so per-ml figures are very slightly lower.
