Half-and-half cream is a dairy product composed of equal parts whole milk and light cream, delivering a richer texture than milk but lighter than heavy cream. Originating in the United States, it’s often used in coffee, tea, soups, sauces, and desserts to add smoothness and subtle creaminess. Nutritionally, half-and-half contains key nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and small amounts of protein. However, it is also higher in saturated fat compared to regular milk, which may be a concern for heart health if consumed excessively. Unlike heavy cream, it has a lower fat content, typically around 10-18%, making it a moderate choice for those seeking creaminess without the full calorie load of richer cream options. Half-and-half is often valued for its versatility in cooking and its ability to enhance flavor while providing a creamy consistency. It’s ideal for occasional use in recipes or beverages.
