Raw milk is a superfood! 🐮🥛

When I visited the Azores last fall, I visited a local regenerative dairy farm that produces raw milk. The two young farmers gave my partner and I a tour of their farm and shared their passion for raw milk.

I learned how the pasteurization process kills the milks gut-supporting beneficial bacteria, reduces the overall nutritional content, and denatures proteins. Yet, laws prohibit raw milk from being sold in supermarkets! This is to extend the product shelf life and in result, boost profit for most dairy sellers.

There are so many benefits of raw milk. Raw milk contains beneficial bacteria shown to aid in gut healing and immune strengthening. It also has been shown to protect against asthma and allergies.

Raw milk has been demonized when, in fact, it can be extremely nutritious to one’s diet. It’s so crazy to think nearly all the products on our shelves have absolutely 0 nutritional value, yet something as nutrient dense as raw milk is forbidden. I despise this.

What do you think about raw milk vs pasteurized milk? Which do you drink? If you buy raw milk, how do you find it?

Cows are super cute 💚 sweet picture 🤗

And it’s really shocking that the products in the supermarket have little amount of nutrients, really sad.

Same with pasteurized milk, like why? For durability?

We know farmers around us that sell fresh milk 🥛 I think I need to do this too, I am mostly vegan but not 100% , I like to use oat milk.

The fresher the better I would say. Food industry is a shitcoin lol

But something in my mind screams „this milk belongs to cow babies“

Do you know if the farmers let the babies stay with their mother, at least for a while?
