Cow or Buffalo

Cow or Buffalo

Cow's milk is famous, Buffalo's milk is famouser. (New word huh!!) There is always confusion in people regarding what to be had, Cow's or Bufallo's. And most of the time Buffalo wins. Why? Easy, it is cheaper than Cow's milk. People get angry when I say this reason (May be it hurts the status). Because their excuse (or say reason) for using Bufallo milk is richness of qualities.

Richness of qualities means it is perfect white in colour & thick in consistency, gives more cream, thick and sticky butter, and rich clarified butter (Ghee).
And Cow's milk is exactly opposit. It is yellowish, not thick like Buffalo's, less cream, butter and Ghee. So Buffalo milk wins.

But all this is because of the heavyness of the milk. Heavier the milk, more will be the cream. And this heavyness is because of higher fat content of the milk.

Ayurved says Cow's milk is easy to digest and more in qualities for better and healthy life. Buffalo milk is heavy, so needs more time and efforts to digest. It also brings heavyness to the body and mind. That's why those who don't get sleep are advised by Ayurved doctors to have this milk instead of Cow milk.

So don't just go after the apparent richness of the milk. The real richness of every type of milk is told by Ayurved separately. Will deal with each real soon.
