About Plain buttermilk

Plain buttermilk is a tangy, nutritious dairy beverage traditionally made by fermenting low-fat milk with live cultures or is the liquid left after churning butter. Originating from ancient dairy practices, it is commonly used in cooking, baking, and as a refreshing drink, especially in Indian, Middle Eastern, and American cuisines. Buttermilk is low in fat, rich in calcium, and contains probiotics that support gut health and digestion. It is also a good source of vitamin B12, phosphorus, and riboflavin. While its low calorie content makes it a wholesome choice compared to other creamy beverages, commercial buttermilk may be higher in sodium; mindful consumption is advised. Its natural acidity makes it helpful in tenderizing baked goods or marinades. Ideal for those seeking a versatile, fermented dairy option, plain buttermilk is both a flavorful ingredient and a beneficial addition to a balanced diet.
