About Donkey milk

Donkey milk is milk produced by female donkeys and sold as a fresh or processed dairy food. It is a thin, pale liquid with a mild, lightly sweet flavour; its composition differs from that of common cow’s milk.

It may be consumed as a beverage or used in dairy products, though availability and processing vary by region. Commercial forms can include pasteurized, frozen, or dried milk, and these should not be treated as compositionally identical.
