About Light cream

Light cream, also known as single cream, is a dairy product with a milk fat content ranging from 18% to 30%. It is commonly used in both sweet and savory dishes, adding a mild richness without the heaviness of heavier creams like whipping or heavy cream. Light cream is a staple in European and American cuisines, often incorporated into soups, sauces, desserts, and coffee. While it provides a creamy texture and subtle flavor enhancement, its lower fat content compared to heavier cream makes it a slightly lighter choice. However, it is still high in saturated fats and should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Light cream contains small amounts of calcium and vitamin A but is not a significant source of nutrients. It's ideal for those looking to elevate their dishes with a touch of creaminess without the full decadence of heavier alternatives.
