Heavy Cream
Heavy Cream is the high-fat dairy product commonly used in European and American cooking for whipping, enriching sauces, soups and desserts; it is prized for its rich texture and ability to create stable whipped creams and silky sauces. Nutritionally, Heavy Cream is high in fat, providing about 35.6g of fat per 100g (with a large share as saturated fat), and contains small amounts of protein and some fat‑soluble vitamins such as vitamin A and B12. From a health perspective it supplies high-quality dairy protein and fat-soluble nutrients, but because it is energy- and saturated‑fat dense and contains no fiber, it’s best used in moderation or replaced with lower‑fat alternatives when a lighter option is desired.
