Light Sour Cream

Light Sour Cream is a cultured dairy product used widely as a condiment or topping in many cuisines — from Mexican to Eastern European — valued for its tangy flavor and creamy texture. It is a lower‑fat alternative to regular sour cream, containing about 10.6g of fat per 100g, which makes it useful when you want creaminess with fewer calories than full‑fat versions. Nutritionally it supplies modest protein and some calcium and vitamin B12 typical of dairy, but because it's still a dairy fat product it contains saturated fat; swapping to a plain low‑fat yogurt or skyr gives more protein and less saturated fat while serving a similar culinary role.
