Where can I buy milk powder in the Bay Area?

Just picked up the new Momofuku Milk Bar cookbook. Recipes call for milk powder. They are a stickler for full fat products. Where can I buy "Whole Milk Powder" in the bay area?

Is milk powder the same as dry milk?

    Thanks Guys found it at Bombay Grocery on Univeristy in Berkeley. $6 for a box seemed a little pricey but I needed it

      I buy milk powder for yogurt making at Monterey Market in Berkeley. I will check to see if it is full fat and let you know.

        Rainbow Grocery bulk section.

        Ruth reported four brands at Milan a couple of years ago. They have the widest selection of Indian spices etc. I've found. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/675652

        If it's made in New Zealand, they might have it at Mangals.

          Didn't go to Milan but wound up at another Indian spot on Univeristy and found it there. Thanks

          I went looking for powdered milk made from whole milk (aka whole milk powder) a couple of years ago. Most powdered milk is nonfat, because the fat makes it spoil more easily. I found the whole milk versions at Indian markets -- there are several brands, mostly made in New Zealand for the Indian market.

              Also check Mexican markets. I bought some at Mi Pueblo in EPA for making Crack Pie.

                Nido is Nestle's brand that is common in Hispanic markets. I've even seen it at Walmart. I've also seen it with a KLIM label at 99Ranch.
