THE UAE’s largest dairy and juice producer
has launched six new camel milk flavours and is planning to offer an expanding
portfolio of products made with fresh camel milk.
Al Ain Dairy’s range of camel milk drinks
are made with 100 per cent pure fresh pasteurised camel milk, contain less than
two per cent fat, natural fruit sugars and no artificial colours, flavours or
preservatives.
The six new flavours are date, cardamom,
rose, chocolate, saffron and laban. Camel milk has recently seen an
unprecedented surge in popularity with more and more people discovering the
health benefits that nutrient rich camel milk delivers.
Camel milk is easily digested by lactose
intolerant individuals, is rich in Vitamin B and D and has 10 times more iron
than cow’s milk. The lactoferrin contained in camel milk also has
anti-bacterial and antiviral properties and is known to have anti-diabetic
actions too.
It contains a high presence of insulin-type
proteins and other nutrients that positively affects the immune system. It is
no surprise therefore that camel milk is now often described as a ‘superfood’,
the company says.
