In Indian kitchens, the debate between buffalo milk and cow milk is as old as dairy farming itself. Both are nutritional powerhouses, but their differences in protein, fat, and digestibility make them suited for distinct needs. Let’s break down their unique profiles, health benefits, and ideal uses to help you make the best choice for your family.
Nutritional Face-Off: Buffalo Milk vs Cow Milk
Here’s how 250ml of each measures up:
Nutrient | Buffalo Milk | Cow Milk |
---|---|---|
Calories | 243 kcal | 150 kcal |
Protein | 9g | 8g |
Fat | 17g | 8g |
Calcium | 41% DV | 32% DV |
Cholesterol | 8mg | 14mg |
Water Content | 83% | 88% |
Key Takeaways:
- Buffalo Milk: Higher protein (9g/serving), calcium (195mg/100ml), and fat (6.9g/100ml) make it ideal for muscle growth and energy.
- Cow Milk: Lower fat (3.4g/100ml) and calories (61kcal/100ml) suit weight management, with easier digestibility.

Protein in Buffalo Milk: Why It Stands Out
Buffalo milk’s 4.5g protein per 100ml outperforms cow milk (3.2g/100ml). This protein is rich in casein (89%), a slow-digesting protein that supports sustained muscle repair and appetite control. For athletes, growing children, or those recovering from illness, buffalo milk provides 40% more protein per serving.
Did You Know?
The antioxidants in buffalo milk (56-58% capacity) are 40% higher than cow milk, offering better protection against free radicals.
Health Benefits: Who Should Choose Which?
Buffalo Milk Wins For:
- Bone Health: 195mg calcium/100ml vs 120mg in cow milk, crucial for children and seniors.
- Energy Needs: High fat (6.9g/100ml) fuels physically active individuals.
- Lactose Tolerance: Lower lactose than cow milk (4.9g vs 4.8g), though both contain lactose.
Cow Milk Wins For:
- Weight Management: Half the fat (3.4g/100ml) and fewer calories.
- Digestive Comfort: Smaller fat globules and lighter consistency ease digestion.
- Daily Hydration: Higher water content (88%) makes it refreshing as a beverage.
Culinary Uses: Which Milk Works Best?
SBuffalo Milk
- Paneer & Cheese: Yields 25% more due to high solids.
- Ghee & Sweets: Richer flavor and creamier texture (e.g., rasmalai, kheer).
- Yogurt: Thicker, probiotic-rich curd with less whey separation.
Cow Milk
