THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORGANIC MILK AND OTHER MILK

WHY HAS ORGANIC MILK BECOME THE ALTERNATIVE TO NON-ORGANIC MILK FOR MODERN CONSUMERS?

Almost everyone at any age enjoys drinking milk, whether adults or children. Milk is considered a nutritious drink rich in protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins and minerals.

Vietnamese children, from the moment they are born, are familiar with breast milk. As they grow older and breast milk is no longer available, they enjoy a wide variety of dairy products made from cow’s milk or from plants. In the nearly 200-year history of the dairy industry, organic milk (together with organic agriculture) has gradually become more popular over the past few decades. The question of whether organic milk can replace conventional milk has always been a lively topic, not only among consumers and producers, but also within the scientific community.

So, what is the difference between organic milk and regular milk?

The story begins with the grasslands, the farming practices, and the cows themselves – the key factor in producing high-quality milk – and finally the nutritional content. The table below compares the differences in the production process of organic milk and non-organic milk, as well as the nutritional benefits these types of milk offer:

In addition, organic cows are often selected from the best breeds in the world to ensure that they are always healthy, with strong immunity to avoid disease and the need for antibiotics, as well as to produce an abundant supply of highly nutritious milk.

So, should I drink organic milk or regular milk?

In the past, consumers were used to drinking non-organic milk, partly because it was cheaper and partly because there was little information about its side effects. However, many recent studies have warned that not knowing the origin of the milk we consume is very risky, as it may contain substances that can cause cancer or alter hormones, potentially affecting the user’s gender development. Along with the outstanding nutritional and safety advantages of organic milk, this type of milk is gradually becoming a trusted choice for consumers. For this reason, in European and American countries, the trend of using organic food in general and organic milk in particular has become very popular in recent years.

In Vietnam, SOLOMON is proud to be one of the pioneers constantly striving to bring organic products – especially excellent organic milk lines from Europe and America – to the domestic market. Currently, SOLOMON distributes three organic milk brands: Horizon Organic, Organic Valley and Daioni Organic.
