About Half and half cream

Half-and-half cream is a popular dairy product made from equal parts whole milk and heavy cream, creating a smooth and rich texture. Originating from American cuisine, it's commonly used in coffee, tea, soups, sauces, and baked goods for added creaminess. This versatile ingredient typically contains 10-18% milk fat, offering less richness than heavy cream but more than whole milk. In terms of nutrition, half-and-half provides essential nutrients like calcium for bone health and small amounts of protein and vitamins A and D. However, its higher fat content compared to regular milk means it is calorie-dense and should be consumed in moderation, particularly for those monitoring their saturated fat intake. While it does not contain added sugars, its natural fat and calorie profile may not suit certain dietary restrictions. Ideal for enhancing flavor and texture, half-and-half is a staple in many kitchens.
