Milk cream, often simply called cream, is the rich, fatty layer skimmed from the top of milk before homogenization. Originating from dairy traditions worldwide, it is a cornerstone in cuisines ranging from French to Indian, used in sauces, soups, desserts, and beverages. Cream typically contains 30-40% milk fat, contributing to its rich taste and smooth texture. Nutritionally, it provides vitamins like A, D, E, and K, which support skin, bone, and immune health. However, its high saturated fat and calorie content mean it should be consumed in moderation, particularly for heart health or calorie-conscious diets. Cream can also be a source of calcium, though to a lesser extent compared to milk. Variants like heavy cream and whipping cream differ in fat content, while lighter options, such as half and half, provide a lower-fat alternative. Use it to add indulgence to your meals, but aim for balance in your diet.
