About Whole milk

Whole buffalo milk is a thick, creamy dairy milk obtained from buffaloes, which are commonly reared in India and other South Asian countries. It is a staple beverage and cooking ingredient in many Indian households, frequently consumed as fresh milk or used to make dairy products like paneer (cheese), curd, and sweets.

Buffalo milk is notable for its higher fat content and creaminess compared to cow's milk, offering a fuller texture and richer taste. It contains essential nutrients such as protein, calcium, and vitamins like vitamin B12 and A, making it a nutritious choice. Key nutrients per 100g include approximately 6.9g fat, 3.8g protein, and 4.9g carbohydrates primarily as lactose (milk sugar).

It is classified as a vegetarian dairy product and is typically consumed raw or boiled before drinking. Buffalo milk has no gluten, egg, or nut allergens but contains dairy allergens. It is versatile in Indian cooking, used in beverages, sweets, and savory dishes. The milk is generally unprocessed or minimally processed when consumed fresh.
