The Benefits of Goat's Milk
Goat's milk is available in many supermarkets. It is nutritionally similar to cow's milk and can be used in the same ways. It makes good alternatives for those who have an intolerance of cow's milk, such as children with eczema. And sufferers of gastric ulcers often find goat's milk easier to digest and lighter on the stomach. Goat's milk also freezes well.
