India is one of the biggest producers as well as consumers of buffalo milk. Buffalo milk is thick and creamy and is thus suitable for making traditional milk products such as yogurt, ghee and cottage cheese or paneer. Another good feature of this milk is that it can be stored for a longer time due to its high peroxidising activity. It is not only a tasty option but is a healthy nutritious daily drink and can be consumed by people of all ages. Here are factors that make buffalo milk a healthy choice.

Low in cholesterol
A common health issue most people face these days is higher than normal cholesterol levels.
