Have you ever heard about Bulgarians and their milk? Discover the great benefits they have for your health and how you can consume them.
WHAT ARE THEY?
Bulgarians are small granules or small nodules, which can measure between 0.3 and 2.0 cm in diameter, they are formed by bacteria and yeasts that feed on lactose, that is, the sugar that is naturally found in milk, which produces a double fermentation that ends up being an acidic and bubbly drink.
These small granules are characterized by having a gelatinous consistency and an appearance similar to that of a cauliflower, since they are white and bulky, but they are more gelatinous and softer.
It is important to note that there are two types, water and milk, both have the same microflora but adapt to different media and the enzymes they contain are different, although the most used are those of milk.
