Buttermilk
Buttermilk is a cultured dairy product traditionally made from the liquid left after churning butter or from fermented milk; it is used across many cuisines for baking, sauces, dressings and marinades and is known for its tangy flavor and smooth texture. Nutritionally Buttermilk provides a modest amount of high-quality protein, about 3.46g per 100g, and contains dairy micronutrients such as iodine and vitamin B12 that support thyroid function and blood health; it is relatively low in calories compared with full‑fat dairy. Because it is a fermented milk, Buttermilk can be easier to digest for some people and contributes to feelings of fullness thanks to its protein content, though like most dairy it contains negligible fiber.
