About One serving of butter

Butter, a staple in kitchens worldwide, is a dairy product crafted by churning cream or milk to separate its fat from buttermilk. With deep roots in European cuisines, butter has become an indispensable ingredient across countless recipes, offering rich flavor and a creamy texture. One serving of butter (around 1 tablespoon or 14 grams) contains approximately 100 calories, primarily comprised of fats—70-80% saturated fat, which provides energy and supports cellular functions. It also supplies small amounts of vitamins like A, D, E, and K. However, due to its high saturated fat content, excessive consumption can contribute to high cholesterol levels and cardiovascular issues. While butter is prized for enhancing baked goods, sauces, and savory dishes, moderation is key to balancing its indulgent qualities with its potential impacts on health. For those mindful of calorie intake, alternatives like oils or plant-based spreads may offer lower-fat options.
