Camel milk (pronunciation: /ˈkæməl mɪlk/) is a type of milk produced by camels. It has been consumed by humans for over a thousand years and is known for its rich nutritional profile and potential health benefits.
Etymology
The term "camel milk" is derived from the English word "camel", which is borrowed from the Old French "camel", from the Latin "camelus", from the Greek "kamēlos", all meaning "camel", and the Old English "meoluc", which is related to the German "Milch" and the Dutch "melk", all meaning "milk".
Nutritional Profile
Camel milk is rich in protein, vitamin C, iron, and potassium. It also contains lower amounts of lactose compared to cow's milk, making it a potential alternative for those with lactose intolerance.
Health Benefits
