What is Goat's Milk?
Goat's milk is a type of dairy milk produced by domestic goats. It is similar in nutritional content to cow's milk, containing essential nutrients like calcium, protein, and vitamin D. Goat's milk is often touted for being easier to digest due to its smaller fat globules and different protein structure, which may be beneficial for some individuals with mild sensitivities to cow's milk. However, it still contains lactose, the sugar found in all mammalian milk.
