Butter, typically made from churned cream, is a staple ingredient in global cuisines, especially in European and North American cooking. Rich in flavor, it is often used for baking, sautéing, or spreading. It contains about 80% fat, primarily saturated and monounsaturated fats, along with small amounts of protein, water, and vitamins like A and E. While butter is a source of quick energy, its saturated fat content has been linked to cardiovascular concerns when consumed excessively. In moderation, butter provides flavor and texture to recipes and can support the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. Depending on production methods, butter may also contain trace probiotics. Variations include salted, unsalted, and cultured butter, catering to diverse tastes and uses. While butter brings richness to dishes, balancing its use with plant-based oils and other healthy fats is essential for a well-rounded diet.
