A Middle East dairy company has come to the idea of using the healthy camel milk for making ice-creams. This would be extremely beneficial for people who like ice-cream, as camel milk will make the sweet product to have a lower-fat amount with reduced levels of sugar, according to health24.com news.

The first camel milk ice-cream have already been launched in the United Arab Emirates by the same firm which now intends to bring the product to Europe and the rest of the world, as it is going to represent a healthier alternative to the rest of the ice-cream products. The company producing the new ice-cream has already informed that it will be available with three flavors: caramel, strawberry and chocolate.

The healthy properties of camel milk derive from the fact that camel milk ice-cream contains only 2, 5% fat, in comparison with other types of ice-cream which have an amount of 6% to 9% amount. Also, camel milk is safe to be consumed by individuals with lactose intolerance and contains three times more vitamin C than cow milk. Besides vitamin C, camel milk is also rich in vitamin B, unsaturated fatty acids and iron.

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, at all costs needed for maintaining all the body cells healthy. It contributes to the iron absorption in the organic system and increases the immunity to infections.

Vitamin B, especially vitamin B6, helps forming the red blood-cells and is a powerful antioxidant, as well as all the vitamins, in fact. It contributes to the good functioning of the brain and nervous coordination, to the emotional balance, encourages antibodies forming and increases the immunity to infections.

Iron as a nutritive mineral boosts energy in our bodies, makes us active and provides us with stamina. Iron is tightly linked to the hemoglobin, which transports oxygen from the lungs to all body cells and is also part of key enzyme systems for energy production and metabolism.

Obviously, camel milk is not as rich in the above mentioned vitamins and nutritive minerals as most of the vegetables and fruits are. But the fact that this type of milk contains ingredients beneficial for our health, even if in smaller amounts, makes it the healthiest choice when it comes to buying such harmful for the health sweet products as ice-cream.
