Low-Fat Buttermilk

Low-Fat Buttermilk

EverydayUnsweetened

Low-fat buttermilk is a cultured dairy product created by fermenting skim or low-fat milk with lactic acid bacteria. This tangy, slightly thickened beverage contains probiotics that support gut health while providing significant calcium and protein with reduced fat content compared to traditional buttermilk. It serves as a versatile ingredient in baking—where its acidity activates leavening agents—and works equally well in marinades, dressings, and smoothies for added creaminess without excess calories.
