Baby camels nurse from their mamas for about two years. Camel milk is also good for humans. It is very nutritious, and compared to cow’s milk, is higher is Vitamin C and is more easily digested, which makes it better for those who are lactose intolerant. Another interesting fact about camel’s milk is that is doesn’t curdle! It also has wonderful health benefits, such as controlling diabetes due to its high concentration of insulin and being great for one’s skin because its content is so high in fatty acids like lanolin. Camel milk is an important dietary staple for many people in the world.

After reading this post, I hurried off to look up information on websites about this camel’s milk and Vitamin C does appear in all of the articles as a vitamin source in this nutritious milk. This is very interesting and I would love to try it.
Thank you for popping over to my blog from time to time. I appreciate your reading and it. This morning I must have read for an hour and got caught up on yours. This is such an interesting blog. Thank you for writing and sharing a bit about your part of the world.
It’s my pleasure. Great to hear from you – Happy Holidays to you and yours!
At first I thought the camel had two humps and the baby only one. Then I realized it was an another camel in the packground! LOL!! Very interesting facts Susie!
Lorac – When I first saw the photo, I thought the same thing too – it does look like the camel has two humps!
Nice camels and very nice place also, i like this…

OMG! I had no idea that there was any chocolate made out of camel milk!!! Thanks so much – next time I’m at the Red Sea Mall, I’ll be sure to scope it out!!!
PRIVATE PLEASE
Susie, pardon my ignorance. I forgot that Vit. D is only a supplement to cow’s milk.
So camels really have Vitamin C in their milk! Sorry, I just found that so strange, that’s what made me ask.
No problem, Dina – I’m really just learning all this from what I read – so who knows???

Susie, did you mean Vitamin D? Could it really be Vit. C?
Sweet baby, all legs.
Do they ever sell this milk in stores or do you have to go get it?
I haven’t seen it in the stores here, but I would think they must sell it somewhere in the city without having to go out to the outposts and getting it yourself fresh.
I don’t know how strict the health department regulation would be.
