About Nub of butter
A nub of butter is a small portion of dairy fat, typically derived from cow’s milk through churning cream. Common in Western cuisines, it enhances flavor and texture in baking, cooking, and spreading. Butter is rich in saturated fats, which contribute to its creamy consistency and distinctive taste. Additionally, it provides small amounts of vitamin A, important for vision and immunity, and trace minerals like calcium. Though butter is a concentrated source of calories and fat, moderation is recommended, as excessive consumption may contribute to heart health concerns. In many cuisines, a nub of butter is used to finish sauces, glaze vegetables, or enrich breads. Alternatives like plant-based spreads or lighter oils offer similar functionalities for those seeking lower-saturated fat options. When included mindfully in a balanced diet, a nub of butter can be a delightful indulgence with a deep-rooted culinary legacy.
