Organic Dry Buttermilk

Organic dry buttermilk is a powdered form of buttermilk, a dairy product. It is made by churning butter from cream, leaving buttermilk as a liquid byproduct. This liquid is then pasteurized, dried, and powdered.

Manufacturers add dry buttermilk for its tangy flavor and to improve texture in baked goods. It acts as a leavening agent when combined with baking soda, creating a lighter crumb. It is commonly found in crackers, biscuits, pancakes, and baked mixes.

Organic dry buttermilk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of calcium and protein. The FDA has not set specific upper intake levels for dry buttermilk. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dairy products but do not typically set specific limits for dry buttermilk itself.
