About Half teaspoon butter
Half a teaspoon of butter is a small portion of the popular dairy product made primarily from cream or milk fat. Originating from culinary practices worldwide, butter has been a key ingredient in many cuisines, from French pastries to Indian curries. It contains approximately 17 calories, 2 grams of fat, and trace amounts of vitamins like A and D. Butter is rich in flavor and is often used as a cooking fat, spread, or finishing touch to dishes. While it provides some nutrients, its high saturated fat content can contribute to heart health concerns if consumed in excess. Moderation is key, and half a teaspoon is a lower-calorie option for those seeking to enjoy its rich taste while managing dietary fat intake. Butter adds warmth and depth to recipes but should be balanced within a healthy lifestyle.
