About Heavy cream

Heavy cream, also known as heavy whipping cream, is a rich dairy product made by skimming the high-fat layer from milk. It typically contains about 36-40% fat, giving it its thick, creamy texture and luxurious taste. Commonly used in both sweet and savory dishes, heavy cream is a staple in French cuisine, enhancing soups, sauces, desserts, and beverages like coffee. Nutritionally, it is calorie-dense and high in fat, including saturated fat, which should be consumed in moderation. However, it does offer small amounts of vitamins A and D, as well as some calcium. While heavy cream adds depth and richness to recipes, its high fat content may not be ideal for those following low-fat diets or concerned about cholesterol levels. It’s best enjoyed as an occasional indulgence or thoughtfully incorporated into balanced meals.
