Sour cream is a dairy product made by fermenting cream with lactic acid bacteria, resulting in a tangy flavor and velvety texture. Originating from Eastern European cuisine, it is widely used globally in dishes like soups, sauces, baked potatoes, and desserts for its creamy richness. Nutritionally, sour cream is a source of calcium and vitamin B12 but is also high in saturated fat and calories, especially in full-fat varieties. Reduced-fat and fat-free options are available for those seeking lighter alternatives. While it provides minimal amounts of protein compared to other dairy products, sour cream can enhance the flavor and texture of meals when used in moderation. However, excessive consumption may contribute to weight gain or cardiovascular issues due to its fat content. Suitable for vegetarian diets, sour cream can also be substituted with plant-based alternatives for vegan and lactose-sensitive individuals.
