Plain cream cheese is a smooth, spreadable dairy product made primarily from pasteurized cream and milk, with added salt and stabilizers. Originating from the United States in the late 19th century, it has become a staple in many cuisines around the world, commonly used as a spread, in dips, or as a base for cheesecakes and other desserts. Nutritionally, plain cream cheese is high in fat, including saturated fat, which contributes to its creamy texture and rich flavor. While it provides small amounts of protein and calcium, it’s best enjoyed in moderation due to its calorie density and lower nutrient profile compared to other dairy options. Cream cheese is naturally low in carbohydrates, making it a popular choice for low-carb and keto diets. For a healthier alternative, opt for reduced-fat or whipped varieties that offer similar taste with fewer calories and fat content.
