What it is
Dehydrated buttermilk is a dairy powder made from liquid buttermilk that has been dried. Buttermilk is the liquid left over after churning butter from cream. The drying process removes water, creating a shelf-stable powder.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use dehydrated buttermilk as a flavoring agent and to add a creamy texture and tangy taste to foods. It is often found in baked goods, mixes for pancakes and waffles, soups, sauces, and snack foods.
Health notes
Dehydrated buttermilk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of calcium and protein. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated buttermilk powder, but no specific health concerns are associated with its typical consumption.
Allergen info
Dehydrated buttermilk is derived from milk and is therefore a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
