Sour cream is a dairy product made by fermenting cream with lactic acid bacteria, creating its characteristic tangy flavor and creamy texture. Traditionally associated with Eastern European cuisines, it’s widely used in cooking and as a topping for dishes like baked potatoes, tacos, soups, and salads. Nutritionally, sour cream is rich in fats, primarily saturated fats, and contains small amounts of protein and carbohydrates. It provides vitamins such as A and B12, along with minerals like calcium and phosphorus. While moderate consumption can complement a balanced diet and offer quick energy, its high fat content means it should be enjoyed sparingly, especially by individuals monitoring cholesterol or calorie intake. Reduced-fat and alternative versions are available for those seeking lighter options. Sour cream is versatile in flavor, contributing richness and acidity to a variety of culinary creations.
