Who drink camel milk?
who, exactly, partakes in the creation of drinkable camel milk besides the camel? who drinks it?
leopatra herself is said to have bathed in the milk of a dromedary camel (or was it an ass?) to preserve her skin's youthful beauty. Did it work? Legend knows.
In present times, as with most cow and goat milk, dairies provide this fine substance. Not just any dairy; camel dairies! Unfortunately, these are found mostly in Africa and Australia, and sparse even there. Going closer to the source, however, (in most cases) a camel herder is the actual provider of milk. He or she will hand-milk his/her camels and sell the milk to the dairies. And it's no easy task to milk a camel! They must not be stressed, annoyed, startled, distracted, angry, sad, impatient, or offended in order for them to let go of their treasure. And of course, they must know their milker personally.
Since pasteurization of camel's milk is a fairly recent concept (within the last couple of decades), those who drink the milk most--mainly in Africa--drink it fresh from the source. This has included everyone from everyday Joes to the royalty for thousands of years. Now, nearly everybody has access to camel's milk, they just have to know where to look. Since its pasteurization, more people have been drinking the milk since it's been on the market. One female's milk can sustain 40 children in a day.
What?
what's in this milk, anyway? what makes it so good for you?
amel milk, just like goat milk or cow milk or person milk, is, well, milk; the early stalks of life's food. Now, this milk is unique in that it is used as food for humans as much as it is for drink. Since the camel is built to live in such harsh earthly conditions, its milk has to be equally adapted to keep its young alive in times of little or no other food. For that reason, it is very nutritious.
High in protein, casein, potassium and Vitamin C, this milk can be the sole dietary source for a human, or a camel for that matter for a long period of time--providing the minimun balance of nutrition. It contains less lactose than human's milk, making it fairly easy to digest as well. Fat content is low, while water content is high, to sustain a person being in a dry, hot environment where where water, not fat, is needed to live. It's no wonder that a camel's milk is both the drink and meal of choice for many a desert nomad family.
Where?
where in the world is camel milk being used?
amel milk is primarily used in the desert of North Africa. It is, consequently, most helpful to the people of that arid region, as they share the same environment as the camel and thus, the same climatical hardships and needs. It is common in other desert areas of the world as well, to which the dromedary is native. The western hemisphere has gotten only a few peeks at this seemingly astounding camel's milk, and although they hardly share the same environment, it could prove beneficial to them as well; camel's share closer genes to humans than either cows or goats, the most common milk sources in other areas of the world. The camel's cousin, the llama, is quite common in the west, though, and is also an equally helpful source of milk for those of a different climate.
When?
camel milk?? when was this miraculous discovery made?
amel's milk (and the camels too), has been a necessary base of living for desert tribes for thousands of years in Africa. All of these tribes had to be nomadic (moving from place to place) to find adequate resources, and not only did they need to carry their goods with them, but they needed a food source to sustain them when other resources wore thin. Undoubtedly, these people have been milking camels as long as they've been domestic. As mentioned earlier, Cleopatra even has history with the dromedary camel and it's miraculous milk.
Many things flare up and die down, fads and raves of all sorts, but people still use camel's milk. It must be so beneficial, so stable and healthy, then, that its use will expand and take over the western world. Only time can tell.
Why?
why exactly would one want to drink this?
rom what you have previously read, you should have learned that camel milk is as nutritious as some food and quite suitable for desert dwellers in specific. What you haven't learned, though, is how the milk keeps in high and low temperatures, what good ice cream it makes, and how it's so tasty and even sweet (even if it's an acquired taste to the western tongue).
Camel's milk keeps longer than cow's milk when refrigerated, and because of the heat of the desert, it doesn't spoil very soon and doesn't curdle at all on its own. It does, however, sour and it can be made easily into ice cream to keep longer, with a little added fat and not too much added sugar (due to it's natural sweetness). It doesn't just keep--it keeps for a year and a half.
So why do people drink camel's milk? It prevents famine, is convenient in the desert, keeps fairly well, tastes good, is nutritious, and its bearer is good for so many other things. The question, really, should be why don't people drink camel's milk?
How?
how else is camel milk used beneficially?
esearch dictates three active uses of camel milk: for camels to drink, for people to drink, and for people to use on their skin. Baby camels, as mammals, drink their mothers' milk for the early stages of their lives. This is, in fact, the initial reason that camel milk exists, which practically goes without saying. But as usual, human intervention has complicated matters a little.
We've already discussed the matter of humans drinking camel milk, but not humans using the milk to benefit their skin. There are camel milk dairies that provide a milk-based soap for an environmentally safe, vitamin-rich, youthful experience in cleanliness. Camel milk in particular is special; it contains extra protein which, when found in milk, is used as a moisturizer. Its ability to healthfully 'plump the skin,' ward off bacteria, provide healthy vitamins, and smooth lines is a timeless tradition in skin-care and what healthier way is there to treat your epidermus than with all-natural ingredients?
Obviously, camels and the milk of camels get little recognition with the good they can possibly do for the world. If everyone just had a breakfast of camel's milk every morning, we'd all be a little more cheerful--and of course, more healthy to boot. Nobody seems to realize this, however, so its no wonder disease, famine, and grumpiness run rampant all over the world. Except, of course, amongst the enlightened--known to the average mind as camel herders.
