Butter is a popular dairy product made primarily from cream that has been churned to separate the butterfat from the liquid. It originates from ancient food traditions and is widely used in cuisines around the world. Western culinary staples heavily rely on butter for its rich flavor and creamy texture in baking, frying, and sauces. Nutritionally, butter is a source of fats, including saturated fats, as well as small amounts of vitamins like A and D. While its saturated fat content has raised concerns about heart health, recent studies suggest moderate consumption may not be as harmful as once believed. Butter is calorie-dense and should be used in moderation to avoid excessive fat intake. In some cases, it is considered a healthier alternative to hydrogenated oils or trans fats commonly found in margarine products. Always check for portion size to balance indulgence with overall dietary health.
