Butter
Butter is a dairy product created by churning cream to separate milk fats from the liquid buttermilk. Containing approximately 80% milk fat, it provides a rich source of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and E while being high in saturated fats and cholesterol. The semi-solid spread melts into a golden liquid when heated, serving as a foundational ingredient in baking, sauce-making, and as a flavor enhancer across various cuisines.
