Why More People Are Giving Goat Milk A Second Chance?Â
If there’s one thing we know at Doorstep Deliveries, it’s that Britain loves its cow’s milk. From the splash in your morning tea to the bottle on the doorstep, it’s part of our daily rhythm — and we’re proud to deliver it.
But here’s a quirky fact you might not know: for many people around the world, goat’s milk is actually easier to digest than cow’s. That doesn’t make cow’s milk the villain (far from it!) – it just means goat’s milk has a few clever tricks up its sleeve when it comes to being gentler on the tummy.
1. Smaller Fat Globules = Less Work for Your Stomach
Goat’s milk fat globules are naturally smaller than those in cow’s milk. That means when they hit your stomach, they break down more easily. Think of it like comparing mini marshmallows to giant ones: both are delicious, but one melts a lot quicker in hot chocolate.
2. A Softer Protein Structure
The protein in goat’s milk (especially the casein) is slightly different to cow’s milk. This difference means the curd that forms in your stomach is softer and easier to digest.
Translation: cow’s milk is creamy and comforting, while goat’s milk just takes a bit less effort for your body to handle.
3. Lactose Levels: Still There, But Easier to Tolerate
Both cow and goat milk contain lactose, but many people find goat milk gentler. That’s partly down to how the fats and proteins interact with digestion. If you’re lactose intolerant, sadly neither may be suitable – but for those who just find cow’s milk a bit heavy, goat’s milk can be a smoother alternative.
4. Around the World, Goat Milk is King
Globally, more than 65% of milk drinkers choose goat’s milk over cow’s milk – partly because goats are easier to keep, but also because the milk tends to agree with more people’s stomachs. In fact, in regions where lactose sensitivity is common, goat’s milk is often the only dairy on the table.
5. The Underdog of the Dairy World
Here in the UK, cow’s milk is still the superstar of the fridge – and we wouldn’t want it any other way. But goat’s milk is quietly winning over those who want a gentler alternative. Think of cow’s milk as the headliner, with goat’s milk as the brilliant support act.
