Sour cream is a cultured dairy product made by fermenting cream with lactic acid bacteria, resulting in its tangy flavor and smooth, creamy texture. Originating from Eastern European cuisine, it has become a staple ingredient worldwide, often used in dips, dressings, baked goods, and as a topping for dishes like soups and tacos. Nutritionally, sour cream is rich in fat and contains small amounts of protein, calcium, and vitamins A and D. While it can be a flavorful addition to many recipes, its high saturated fat content means moderation is key for heart health. Low-fat or light versions are available for those seeking to reduce calorie intake while enjoying its creamy consistency. Sour cream is also relatively low in carbs, making it suitable for ketogenic or low-carb diets. However, individuals with lactose intolerance should consume it cautiously or opt for lactose-free alternatives.
