Tasty and healthy fresh cream

Whether you add it to your coffee, favorite dessert dish or use it to cook your lunch, fresh cream is an essential component that must exist in your kitchen. Fresh cream is a milk-derived dairy product. It is produced by processing and sterilizing milk at high temperatures before packaging. It contains only 18-25% milk fat and is therefore suitable for both sweet and savory dishes.

Since fresh cream is a dairy product, it contains important nutrients that your body needs to function. For example, Fresh cream contains proteins, vitamin A and vitamin D, and minerals like calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin A for example is essential for promoting eye health. The minerals found in fresh cream help promote the number of red blood cell and minerals like phosphorus and calcium help in the maintenance of bone health.

Fresh cream is relatively low in carbohydrates, just like any dairy product. Two tablespoons of fresh cream only contain 0.9 grams of carbohydrates. On the contrary, Fresh cream is rich in fat, with almost 10.8 grams of fat in just two tablespoons, which is almost 10 times the carbohydrates found in it, but if used in moderation, fresh cream can turn any ordinary dish into a healthy and tasty dish.

However, fresh cream is not just consumed for its health benefits but for its substantial ability to make other healthy foods more appealing and satiating. A bowl of tomato soup, for example, is delicious and nutritious, but add a spoonful of fresh cream and it becomes much more indulgent-tasting and filling. Plus, the fat in fresh cream makes the vitamins A, E, and K in the soup more bioavailable.
