Buttermilk, a tangy liquid derived from the fermentation of milk, is a versatile ingredient widely used in cuisines around the world, particularly in Indian, American, and Middle Eastern dishes. Traditionally the byproduct of churning butter, modern buttermilk is typically cultured by adding bacteria to milk. It's rich in probiotics, which promote gut health, and contains essential nutrients like calcium, vitamin B12, and potassium. Despite being lower in fat than whole milk, buttermilk offers a creamy flavor perfect for baking, marinades, or refreshing beverages. While low in calories, its sodium content can be high, so moderation is recommended for individuals monitoring salt intake. A staple of hearty comfort foods and cooling drinks, buttermilk combines heritage with health benefits.
