About Half cup sour cream
Half a cup of sour cream is a creamy, tangy dairy product commonly used in various cuisines, particularly in American, Mexican, and Eastern European cooking. Made by fermenting regular cream with lactic acid bacteria, sour cream has a rich flavor and smooth texture that enhances dishes like baked potatoes, tacos, soups, and casseroles. This serving size contains approximately 240 calories, 23 grams of fat (including 14 grams of saturated fat), and offers small amounts of protein and calcium. While it provides beneficial bacteria from fermentation and some nutrients, its high saturated fat content makes it best enjoyed in moderation. Sour cream adds richness to recipes and can be used as a substitute for heavier condiments, but opting for low-fat or alternative versions can make it a healthier choice. Versatile and flavorful, sour cream is a staple ingredient for balancing bold tastes in savory and sweet meals.
