Unsalted Butter

Unsalted Butter is a dairy fat made by churning cream; it’s widely used in baking, sautéing and as a table spread in many cuisines for its rich flavor and cooking properties. It contains 82.2g of fat per 100g, which gives it high carrying power for flavors and a solid texture at room temperature. While it supplies fat‑soluble nutrients (notably vitamin A) and small amounts of vitamin B12, it is low in protein and fiber and is best used sparingly as a flavoring or cooking fat rather than the primary fat in a diet.
