About Mexican crema

Mexican crema is a rich, tangy dairy product commonly used in Mexican cuisine. Similar in texture to sour cream but milder in flavor, it is made from heavy cream and cultured with lactic acid to create its signature smooth consistency and slight acidity. Typically, it is drizzled over tacos, enchiladas, soups, or desserts to enhance flavor and balance spicy dishes. Mexican crema contains essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D, beneficial for bone health, but it is also high in saturated fat and calories, which should be consumed moderately as part of a balanced diet. Its velvety texture and versatility make it a staple in many traditional recipes, elevating both taste and presentation. While not a low-calorie ingredient, its impact on enhancing dishes often means only a small amount is needed for flavor.
