Goat's milk is a delicious alternative to cow's milk - more tender and good for the stomach
With its delicate taste and unique nutritional composition, goat's milk is the best alternative to cow's milk. And while it is a new trend in the United States, the milk drink has been very popular around the world for centuries: over 65% of the world's people drink goat's milk.
Rich in vitamins and minerals, goat's milk is gentler on the stomach than cow's milk and provides a number of healthy solutions, such as dealing with lactose sensitivity . A number of studies have shown that goat's milk is closer to human milk and deservedly ranks first in the list of healthy foods for mothers during the period of feeding the baby.
One glass of goat's milk contains 140 calories and only 7 g of fat. It is a natural source of calcium, magnesium, potassium and vitamin A. Its aroma is soft, with a light, almost walnut and earthy hue, and the texture is creamy and delicate. Nutritionists are unanimous that the biggest advantage of goat's milk is its easier absorption by the body. It contains very small fat particles (globules), which are broken down faster by gastric enzymes and thus facilitate digestion.
Although lactose is the main carbohydrate in dairy products, its content in goat's milk is lower than other types of dairy products. That is why many people who react badly to the consumption of cow's milk do not have the same problems with goat's milk.
Goat's milk is a better alternative to cow's milk, but in recent years, nut milk has attracted more and more fans. Nutrition experts have their arguments in this food battle as well, as goat's milk again beats on points because it has more protein than nut milk. Its alternatives, such as almond milk, are completely vegan and contain almost no protein, while goat is guaranteed to supply the body with 8 grams of protein in one glass.
In addition, goat's milk may be a better alternative for people who do not like cow's milk, but are also allergic to nuts or soy.
Goat's milk can be replaced with any other dairy product in any recipe. It goes well with shakes and cocktails and can be the perfect addition to any glass of hot latte. It can be part of various creamy soups, sauces or cakes. Even for a portion of homemade ice cream.
