Two pats of butter typically weigh around 20 grams and are composed primarily of fats, including both saturated and unsaturated varieties. Butter originates from dairy, often associated with cuisines across Europe and North America, where it is used in cooking, baking, or as a topping. It provides essential fat-soluble vitamins such as A, E, and K, which support vision, immunity, and bone health. While butter contributes rich flavor and texture to dishes, its high saturated fat content makes it a source of dietary cholesterol, which should be moderated for heart health. Despite being calorie-dense—approximately 150 calories for two pats—it can fit into a balanced diet when consumed in moderation. Butter is free of carbohydrates and naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for certain dietary preferences. However, individuals with lactose intolerance or dairy sensitivities should exercise caution when consuming butter.
