About Cream

Cream is a rich, thick dairy product derived from the high-fat portion of milk that rises to the top during processing. Common in cuisines worldwide, cream adds a velvety texture and luxurious flavor to both savory and sweet dishes, including soups, sauces, desserts, and beverages. It is a key ingredient in many classic recipes like whipped cream, butter, and ice cream. Nutritionally, cream is high in calories and saturated fats, contributing to its indulgent nature but requiring moderation for those mindful of heart health or calorie intake. On the other hand, it provides essential nutrients like vitamin A, calcium, and small amounts of protein, which support vision, bone health, and cellular function. Available in variations such as heavy cream, light cream, and half-and-half, its fat content determines its versatility in cooking and baking. Cream is a flavorful but rich ingredient best enjoyed as an occasional treat.
