What it is
Nonfat buttermilk is the liquid remaining after butter is churned from cream. It is a low-fat dairy product that contains proteins, lactose, and minerals. It has a tangy flavor and is often cultured with bacteria to enhance its taste and shelf life.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use nonfat buttermilk as a flavoring agent and a source of moisture in baked goods like pancakes and biscuits. It can also add a creamy texture and tangy flavor to salad dressings, dips, and marinades. Its acidity can react with leavening agents like baking soda to help baked goods rise.
Health notes
Nonfat buttermilk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of calcium and protein. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated buttermilk and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming nonfat buttermilk at typical dietary levels.
Allergen info
Nonfat buttermilk is derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
