FAQ PRODUCT + Is there sugar in AnswersTM food?
Little to no sugar exists in Answers products due to fermentation converting sugar into organic acids,
which aid in digestion. Our raw milks sugars are eliminated as a result. DetailedTM and StraightTM formulas
have ingredients that are pre-fermented. This means that the probiotics in our food have already started
or completed digesting any sugar content left in those foods. Detailed Formula for Dogs contains very little already-fermented vegetables. And Detailed Formula for Cats and our Straight Formula contains no ingredients that would still contain their naturally occurring sugars.
RAW MILKS
+ Are fermented raw milks a good source of probiotics?
Yes. Raw dairy inherently contains over 200 species of probiotics. We take that even further and ferment both of our dairy products. Our Fermented Raw Goat Milk contains billions of probiotics per ounce and our Fermented Raw Cow Milk Kefir contains 10 billion probiotics per ounce and 1 billion healthy yeast per ounce.
+ Is fermented raw milk a better source of probiotics than supplements?
Yes. Raw dairy inherently contains over 200 species of probiotics in their natural environment. It also provides prebiotics— the nutrients required for probiotics to thrive. Probiotics from fermented raw milk populates the digestive system and is 100x better than supplement, pills or powders.
+ Does fermented raw milk contain enzymes?
Yes. AnswersTM raw milks are abundant in enzymes: there are more than 60 different enzymes in raw milk.
+ Why do I see curds in my fermented raw milks? Is this normal?
Yes. Curds are a great nutritional benefit. Having curdled milk means the good bacteria is continuing to predigest it. This fermentation process, known as lacto-fermentation, makes our raw milk thick and curdy. The more you see it, the healthier it is.
+ My fermented raw milk smells sour. Has it gone bad?
No. Fermented raw milks, also known as sour milk, should have a slightly sour smell from the start, with small to medium curds throughout. Since fermentation is a somewhat unique process, there will be variation from batch to batch. Some will have a gentler ferment and will smell somewhat sweet from the start and have almost no curds. Others will be so fermented that the milk is basically starting to turn to cheese, and the curds will be completely separated from the whey and there will be a very sour smell. Most of the batches will fall somewhere in the middle, with a slight sour smell and small to medium curds throughout. All will continue to ferment in the fridge throughout the 30 days, getting more curdled and the sour smell will increase. In fact, the more curds the safer and more nutrient dense the milk is, so continue to feed for the entire 30 days.
+ My fermented raw milk is a different color. Is it still good?
Yes. Fermented raw milks are natural and are produced in small batches so it will vary from white to cream,
from thick to thin consistency.
+ My fermented raw milk is an orangish color. What happened?
Some states, like Texas and Vermont, require colorization in order to deter people from consuming it.
Beta Carotene turns our raw milks yellow/orange/pink.
