Buttermilk, known as "Buttermilch" in German, is a tangy, slightly thick dairy product traditionally made from the liquid left behind after churning butter. Today, it is often cultured by adding beneficial bacteria to skim or low-fat milk, resulting in its signature taste and texture. Popular in European, Indian, and American cuisines, buttermilk is a versatile ingredient used in beverages, baked goods, marinades, and soups. Nutritionally, buttermilk is rich in protein, calcium, and probiotics, which support gut health and digestion. It is relatively low in fat and calories, making it a lighter option for dairy-based recipes. However, the sodium content can be significant depending on the variety, so watching portion sizes is important. With its creamy consistency and health-promoting qualities, buttermilk remains a staple in both cooking and dietary applications around the world.
