It’s scorching heat outside, and Chandu rushed home after the exhausting football practice. Tossing his bag on the sofa, he somehow used his energy to reach the refrigerator, desperate for water. The flashy ‘red and white’ packaged buttermilk caught his eye as he opened the refrigerator’s door. Taking a deep breath, Chandu gulped down a medium pack of buttermilk like a tired traveler.
You must be thinking, what is so special in that delicious drink?
Packaged buttermilk
Packaged buttermilk in homogenized form makes a shield with lactic acid. Moreover, the buttermilk packs from retail stores are healthier than homemade buttermilk recipes. Extra vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin D get fortified into them. Similarly, one of the biggest benefits lies in the electrolyte mix of this kind of buttermilk. These electrolytes mix with magnesium, sodium, and potassium to increase buttermilk’s water level.

Handmade Buttermilk
In the olden days, our grandmothers made ‘chhach’ using freshly ground ingredients from the kitchen. Similarly, an unparalleled aroma lies in homemade buttermilk, which cannot be put in packaged versions. Besides, creamy milk with coriander, cumin powder, and a touch of black salt is a classic culinary tradition in suburban India.
What a delicious dilemma !
Imagine now, your mother has to prepare the ‘chhach’ early morning, by crushing the elaichi and boiling milk. This consumes much more time in preparation than storage. Lastly, buttermilk as part of the culinary traditions, serves as a refreshing drink and a digestive aid.
Therefore, packaged buttermilk has a better shelf life, taste, and ease of preparation than homemade buttermilk.
