What it is

Dry buttermilk is the liquid buttermilk that has been dried into a powder. Buttermilk is the liquid left over after cream has been churned into butter. The powder is made by dehydrating this liquid, often using spray drying.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add dry buttermilk for its tangy flavor and to improve texture in baked goods. It also acts as a leavening agent, reacting with baking soda to help products rise. It is commonly found in breads, muffins, pancakes, and biscuits.

Health notes

Dry buttermilk is generally recognized by the FDA as safe (GRAS) for use in food. It is a source of calcium and protein. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated buttermilk powder, but no specific limits are noted here. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

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