Tuesday, February 7, 2006 - Our First Milk |
We got to try our first goat milk over the weekend. We weren't
disappointed! To be honest, I was a little surprised that it tasted so
good. We got our goat, Daisy, about 3 weeks ago. She had three babies a
week ago Saturday. Her babies are still drinking most of her milk, but
we were fortunate enough to be able to "sample" it over the
weekend. Before you know it, we'll be drinking our own goat's
milk kefir! 
I told my extended family to get ready for some homemade goat's milk
ice cream at our next birthday party, but they thought I was just
joking. Boy, will they be surprised! haha. I guess I'll still have to
get some Breyer's anyway, just for backup. I would hate to have to deal
with a riot.
While I'm on the subject of raw milk, here's a
little information I've learned: when you drink pasteurized milk, your
pancreas has to work extra hard to provide the enzymes needed to digest
the "cooked" milk. When you drink it raw, the enzymes are already in
the milk, which gives your pancreas a break, which in turn gives you
more energy. There are some doctors who will even use raw milk as a
treatment for "chronic fatigue". Sounds like I should be drinking more
milk!

I'm curious myself what goat milk tastes like. I'll probably find out soon though.
In the meantime, you've been tagged!

| We started buying raw cow's milk (jersey) from a lady about 3 or 4 mi away back in Oct or Nov. We buy butter and cheese from her also. It is the best. I could never go back to pasturized milk again. It has the best flavor and it so healthy. But, I was picky when we started going to her. If the farm and the way they milked the cow's had seemed unsanitary at all I would not have risked feeding it to my family. I've never tried goats milk, that I can remember, but I've read that it's the most healthy milk to drink. |

| Here's something else to think about when drinking raw milk. When milk is homogenized (i.e. store bought cow's milk), an enzyme is released that is hard on your liver. Most folks that think they are "lactose intolerant" when drinking store-bought, homogenized cow's milk can drink goat's milk (naturally homogenized) AND raw cow's milk that has not been homogenized. |
