Why Use Raw Whey?

Why Use Raw Whey?

You know the deal - it's from our organic herd of cows which are 100% A2, and are fed a 100% grass/pasture diet with zero medications.

This simple liquid really is a powerhouse of nutrition. A great source of probiotics, as it's fully raw and is naturally cultured with good microbes. It contains minerals and electrolytes in perfect balance and easily absorbed, as well as proteins and essential amino acids - all in natural form and highly bio-available. Don't forget the protein contained in our Raw Whey is of course 100% A2 - making it even gentler on your gut and easy to absorb.

It's great to drink on its own, especially for rehydration and recovery purposes. Forget fake processed protein shakes made from powdered commercial whey - ours is the real deal. The pasteurising and processing process destroys or denatures a lot of the delicate protein structures and wipes out all probiotic life - so it's a different product entirely.

Or you can blend it up in a smoothie with fruits of your choice. It also can be used to make a tasty fermented lemonade - a quick web-search should throw up some recipes.

Do you make ferments in your kitchen such as sauerkraut, dilly beans or other condiments? It's great as a starter for these as the good microbes in the whey are ready to multiply if you give them a food source! Just use the whey instead of water, or lightly diluted.

Because it's full of good bugs and the fermentation has fully taken place, it also has a long shelf life of several months in the fridge.

It also has a range of non-food uses:

It's great as a hair and body conditioner - those minerals, proteins and probiotics work wonders on the outside of the body as well as the inside.

Raw whey has also been used as a natural cleaner in households and kitchens since way back in history. The fact that it's mildly acidic keeps the bad bugs away, along with the fact that its probiotic tendencies also outcompete the baddies. This is what people did before everyone started slopping chemicals around their homes!

It can also be used as an effective soil conditioner or a compost starter, providing nourishment and reinforcements for the army of good bugs that want to get your soil in the best possible condition to grow more nutrient-dense food!

Our Raw Whey is available to buy in 1 litre bottles, either individually, or if you're wanting to stock up, it could be more cost-effective to purchase our packs of 7 which includes a discounted courier charge for those items within the price.
