About Milk fat

Milk fat, also known as butterfat, is the creamy, rich substance found in milk that gives dairy products their flavor and texture. Composed primarily of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, milk fat also contains essential fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K. Originating from animal milk, its concentration varies in dairy products, being highest in items like butter, cream, and ghee, which are popular in cuisines worldwide, from North American baked goods to South Asian curries. While milk fat contributes to energy and nutrient absorption, its high saturated fat content has been linked to heart health concerns when consumed in excess. However, when included in moderation, it can be part of a balanced diet, offering flavor and valuable nutrients. Cultured dairy products like yogurt may provide additional health benefits due to probiotics, making milk fat a complex yet versatile component of many traditional and modern dishes.
