Whether donkey or even cockroach, there is no shortage of unusual milks. A new addition has just appeared on the American market and is already attracting the trendiest consumers:camel milk. This drink has been consumed for centuries by the Bedouins, because it gives them the strength they need to face the desert. It was Walid Abdul-Wahab, a 25-year-old from Saudi Arabia, who had the idea of exporting it to the United States. He started Desert Farms, his company, before starting a camel farm with the help of an Amish farmer from Missouri. He now sells his milk in organic grocery stores in California.
Source of calcium, vitamin D, rich in protein and zinc, camel milk even has therapeutic virtues according to Desert Farms, which boasts of its positive impact on autism, diabetes and Crohn's disease. Benefits that have since been denied by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)! If there is nothing miraculous about camel milk, it is nonetheless trendy. Proof is:Kim Kardashian is a fan! But at 18 dollars per half-litre, American hipsters have every reason to taste this fashionable nectar sparingly…
