Mumbai: Drinking milk fads have ranged from coconut to soya milk and even almond milk, but a new alternative is going to be added to supermarket shelves by diary giant Amul — camel milk. This offering comes with significant health benefits since they are higher in Vitamin C and Calcium and lower in lactose and cholestrol than cows milk.
According to a report in Business Standard, Amul camel milk is awaiting a nod from the Food Safety and Standards Association of India (FSSAI) and the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation’s (GCMMF) Sarhad Dairy, based in Kutch is thinking of processing it.
Milk from the 'ship of the desert' however has a salty taste and its shelf life is low. Reportedly. Rajasthan Cooperative Dairy Federation (RCDF) had ground-tested by launching camel milk under the Saras brand a few years earlier. The milk is expected to be lapped by health-conscious urban dwellers, as well as patients of chronic ailments.
Milk purists might swear by cows milk and point our camels spit, kick, smell and grunt, but wait till camel milk become the health trend and flood the supermarket shelves!
