Sour Cream
Sour Cream is a cultured dairy product made from cream and lactic acid bacteria, commonly used as a tangy condiment or topping in many cuisines (e.g., Eastern European smetana, Mexican crema). It adds a creamy, slightly sour flavor and is often dolloped on soups, baked potatoes, tacos or used in dressings and dips. Nutritionally, Sour Cream is relatively high in fat — about 18g per 100g — and supplies dairy protein along with small amounts of B‑vitamins and iodine. Because it is a high-fat, low-fiber ingredient, it’s best used in moderation; on the plus side, the protein it contains has a complete amino acid profile typical of dairy.
