What it is

Natural butter is a dairy product made from churning fresh or fermented cream or milk. The process separates the butterfat from the buttermilk. It is a solid fat at room temperature and has a rich, creamy flavor.

Why it's used

Butter is primarily used as a cooking fat and a spread due to its flavor and texture. It adds richness and moisture to baked goods like cookies and cakes, and is used in sauces and marinades. It can also act as a flavor enhancer in savory dishes.

Health notes

In the US, butter is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of saturated fat, and dietary guidelines recommend limiting saturated fat intake. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated butter, but did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI).

Allergen info

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