Buttermilk is a tangy, slightly thick dairy product traditionally made by fermenting low-fat milk with lactic acid bacteria. Originally, it referred to the liquid left behind after churning butter, but modern buttermilk is typically cultured for consistency. Common in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Southern American cuisines, it’s used in beverages, baking, marinades, and dressings. Nutritionally, buttermilk is a good source of calcium, vitamin B12, and probiotics, which support bone health and digestion. Its lower fat content compared to cream or whole milk makes it a lighter dairy option, though some varieties may contain added salt. Despite its benefits, buttermilk may not suit individuals sensitive to lactose or dairy. Rich in flavor but relatively mild in calories, buttermilk is a versatile ingredient for healthy and indulgent recipes alike.
