Fresh milk

Fresh milk, also called pasteurized milk or pasteurized milk, is heated at a low temperature of 70-85 degrees to kill all kinds of growth bacteria in milk. The shelf life is generally 5-7 days, which requires high milk source and low processing level, so it is not allowed to decrease with milk powder, so it has high nutritional value and high price.

2. Pure milk

Long-term storage and long-distance transportation of pure milk will be sterilized by ultra-high temperature heating, and the shelf life is generally more than 6 months. Pure milk is not only made of fresh milk, but also made of reduced milk powder. Its nutritional value is not as high as fresh milk, and its price is slightly lower.

Is it better to drink fresh milk or pure milk?

If the safety of fresh milk can be guaranteed, and the dairy farm is not far from home and the economic conditions permit, it is recommended to drink fresh milk. Because fresh milk is pasteurized, it retains beneficial bacteria such as lactic acid bacteria in milk, which is good for children's intestines and stomach and has higher nutritional value.

However, if you are not sure about the safety of fresh milk such as disinfection, transportation and freshness, or your home is far from the dairy farm, or economic conditions do not allow it, it is better to drink pure milk. After all, there is little difference between them in protein, fat, lactose and minerals.

Is it good for children to drink fresh milk for a long time?

As long as the safety of fresh milk can be guaranteed, and children are tolerant of lactose and have no uncomfortable feeling after drinking fresh milk, then they can drink fresh milk for a long time.

Fresh milk is rich in protein, lactose, calcium, phosphorus and other nutrients. Drinking fresh milk for a long time can supplement calcium, strengthen bones, promote development and improve immunity.

How to heat freshly squeezed milk?

Pour the freshly squeezed milk into the pot, heat it on the fire, take it out when it is about to boil but not yet, and heat it on the fire for half a minute to one minute again, if it is heated repeatedly for 3-4 times.

This kind of heating can not only kill most of the growing bacteria in milk, but also keep the nutrients in milk better without killing the beneficial bacteria inside, but it should not be stored for too long, generally it can only be stored in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
