Lactose-Free Milk Gains Popularity in India

Lactose-Free Milk Gains Popularity in India

India, the world's biggest milk producer, is seeing a big change.

More people are finding out they can't digest regular milk because of something called lactose intolerance.

This means they feel sick after drinking milk.

To fix this, companies are making lactose-free milk, which is easier to digest.

They add a special enzyme to the milk that breaks down the lactose.

This milk is just as nutritious and tastes almost the same as regular milk.

Big companies like Amul are making lots of lactose-free products, from milk to ice cream.

They use special packaging that keeps the milk safe and fresh for a long time, even without refrigeration.

This makes it easy to send the milk all over India, even to smaller cities.

People like this milk because it's healthier and doesn't make them feel sick.

It's also a little sweeter naturally, so they don't need to add as much sugar to their drinks and foods.
