Origin
Sweetened condensed milk originated in the early 19th century in the United States. Gail Borden, an American inventor, developed the process to condense milk by removing water and adding sugar to extend its shelf life. Borden's invention revolutionized the dairy industry and made it possible to transport and store milk without refrigeration. Since then, sweetened condensed milk has become a popular ingredient in various cuisines and desserts worldwide.
