What it is

Dried buttermilk is the liquid left over after butter is made from cream. It is then pasteurized and dried into a powder. This process concentrates its flavor and extends its shelf life.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add dried buttermilk for its rich, tangy flavor and to improve texture in baked goods and dairy-based products. It acts as a leavening agent in some recipes and adds a creamy mouthfeel.

Health notes

Dried 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 dried buttermilk, and it is widely used without significant controversy.

Allergen info

Dried buttermilk is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
