What it is

Buttermilk is the liquid left over after churning butter from cream. It is a cultured dairy product, meaning it has been fermented by bacteria. Modern buttermilk is often made by adding a culture to milk, which gives it a tangy flavor and thick texture.

Why it's used

Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and tenderizes baked goods. It is also used as a base for dressings and marinades. It is commonly found in baked goods like pancakes, biscuits, and cakes, as well as in snack foods like chips and pretzels.

Health notes

Buttermilk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of calcium and protein. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated buttermilk. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming buttermilk in typical amounts.
