Cream is the primary ingredient in butter, providing a rich source of saturated fats. It is typically pasteurized, which can reduce some beneficial bacteria but ensures safety from pathogens. The quality of cream can vary based on the diet of the cows, with grass-fed options being more nutrient-dense.
Risks
High in saturated fats, which may contribute to heart disease if consumed in excess.
Benefits
Provides a source of fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K, especially if sourced from grass-fed cows.
