World Milk Day 2025: 5 Versatile Uses Of Milk That Will Surprise You
Last Updated: Milk's versatility knows no bounds as it serves a multitude of purposes from enhancing culinary creations to boosting beauty routines Every year on June 1, the world raises a toast to milk, one of the most essential and universal foods, by celebrating World Milk Day. In India, where milk is more than just a beverage—it's part of our heritage, health, and household routine—there's no better occasion to reiterate the ways milk can enrich our lives. From being a key ingredient in various recipes to serving beauty enhancer, milk's uses go beyond just drinking, Godrej Jersey uncovers different ways milk can be utilized effectively. Nourishing Breakfast Start your day right by enjoying a nutritious breakfast with milk as the star. Whip up a batch of creamy yogurt using milk as the base, adding fruits and nuts for extra flavour and texture. Flavoured Milk, available in delightful Badam, Kesar, and Rose flavours, makes for a refreshing morning beverage that's healthier than carbonated drinks. According to Godrej Jersey Milk report, 50% of the Indians are willing to increase animal milk consumption if it is flavoured! This on-the-go beverage satisfies your taste buds while providing essential nutrients like calcium and protein. Sumptuous Desserts Milk forms the foundation of delectable desserts like ice cream, pudding, and hot chocolate. Indulge in creamy ice milk made from chilled milk, sugar, and your favourite flavourings. Create velvety pudding by simmering milk with cornstarch and adding flavourings like vanilla or chocolate. For a comforting treat, whip up a mug of hot chocolate using rich, creamy milk. Enhancing the dishes After intense physical activity, the body's energy stores become depleted, and muscles may experience micro-tears and inflammation. Milk is an optimal choice for post-workout recovery due to its nutrient composition. It contains carbohydrates, which replenish glycogen stores, essential for energy recovery. Additionally, milk provides high-quality proteins that support muscle repair and growth Mood and Sleep Regulator A warm glass of milk before bed is a comforting ritual passed down through generations, but its benefits go beyond nostalgia. Milk contains tryptophan, an amino acid that the body uses to produce serotonin and melatonin—two key hormones involved in regulating mood and sleep cycles. In the era of hustle culture, screen fatigue, and rising anxiety levels, especially among urban millennials and Gen Z, many are turning to natural, non-habit-forming remedies to unwind. A warm cup of milk—sometimes enhanced with turmeric, nutmeg, or even ashwagandha—has become a popular choice. As proven by the Godrej Jersey Milk Report, two-thirds of Indians consider milk an effective mood uplifter, reaffirming its role not just as a health drink, but as a source of emotional comfort and calm. Milk's versatility knows no bounds as it serves a multitude of purposes from enhancing culinary creations to boosting beauty routines. Incorporate this multifaceted ingredient into your daily life and embrace the endless possibilities and mysteries of milk, discovering its vast potential in enriching various aspects of your routine.

Mango arrivals surge, prices drop
Indore: The arrival of mangoes from Gujarat and southern states to the city's largest Choithram market has increased, while supply from local farms near Indore has also started, leading to a decrease in the prices of most varieties in the market. The supply of the new season's harvest includes Kesar from Gujarat, Sinduri from southern states, and Alphonso mangoes from Ratnagiri. The daily supply of mangoes in the Choithram market has increased to nearly 15-20 truckloads (each carrying 12 to 18 tonnes) compared to around 10 truckloads a week ago, according to fruit traders and dealers. Manohar Dhawan, a mango dealer in the Choithram market, said, "The daily supply of mangoes in Choithram market has reached around 15-20 truckloads. Supply from many new centres has started, including local farms in the vicinity of Indore. The supply of mangoes is expected to rise further in a fortnight from new centres, and this is expected to further dampen the prices." Fruit dealers said the daily supply of mangoes has increased in the market, but demand has not risen in the same manner. "Mango supply has increased, but demand has not picked up as desired because this year the taste in mangoes, especially the 'badam variety', is not good. The new supplies, which started recently, are of good quality, and with these supplies, we are anticipating better demand," said Amrit Agrawal, a semi-wholesaler of mangoes from Indore. Alphonso mangoes from Ratnagiri in Maharashtra are priced at Rs 2,200-2,500 per box (each box carrying 16 kg) compared to 2,500-3,000 per box last season, said traders in the Choithram market. Other varieties like Sinduri are offered at Rs 80-90 per kg, Kesar at Rs 100-120 per kg, and Badam at Rs 70-80 per kg, according to traders.
