Liquid milk is a nutritious and refreshing beverage that has been consumed for centuries. It is a white liquid produced by the mammary glands of various mammals, such as cows, goats, sheep, and buffalo. It is usually produced in large quantities by dairy farms and pasteurized for safety before it is packaged and sold. It is known to be an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, and proteins, and contains several essential nutrients that are important for growth and development. Additionally, it is also a rich source of calcium and is one of the most popular beverages consumed across India. Several types of milk exist, such as regular or whole milk, non-fat or skimmed milk, and lactose-free milk. Whole milk contains more fat than other varieties. Skimmed milk has almost no fat and has been fortified with vitamins A and D. Lactose-free milk is suitable for individuals who are lactose intolerant and is available in both whole and skimmed varieties. Moreover, it is available in a variety of flavors that have been sweetened or flavored to provide a different taste. It is typically used as a beverage, but is also often used to make products, including cheese, yogurt, and cream.

Liquid Milk Market in India Trends:
