The best milk brands in India to choose from

Milk especially cow’s milk has been consumed by human beings from time immemorial. There are many products that are made from milk like curd, paneer, cheese etc. and it is not possible to avoid milk or milk products for even a day. It is said to have a plethora of benefits like high levels of calcium and minerals that are good for the bones and cows’ milk has quite a low percentage of fat and is thus deemed healthy.

In a country like India that is largely agrarian and is based on a diet that comes from agriculture, almost all the food habits of the nation are dependent on milk or its by-products. Thus we can see that because of the high consumption of milk there are numerous milk brands in India. Formerly it was difficult to obtain milk because of the rural atmosphere but with very high levels of urbanisation many companies have come up supplying milk. Numerous brands have evolved today and deliver a large number of top quality products that have a nation-wide market. Many brands are run by the state governments in each state of the country. These brands usually collect milk from the farmers, pool and pasteurize it and then finally packet and market it. There are also a large number of private milk brands.

As opposed to western countries which use a lot of milk in its powdered, condensed and preserved state, in India, the demand for fresh milk is slowly increasing. This is generally collected from farmers in the rural areas, pasteurised and then marketed. It is usually delivered in plastic packets or tetra packs though some companies which are based in the major cities that also deliver fresh milk through bottles. Some companies offer fresh milk in different types like raw, pasteurised and skimmed and the customer can choose what he or she requires.

With such a large demand for milk in India there is also a great deal of adulteration taking place. There is also the issue of cows being giving large amounts of hormones and antibiotics all leading to terrible side effects in humans. This has led to an increase in demand for country fresh milk which is hormone, antibiotic free and pure without any additives. This milk is surely worth the investment due to several health benefits associated with its consumption.

So switch to farm fresh milk and get healthy today!
