Whole Buttermilk

Whole Buttermilk

Everyday

Whole buttermilk is a cultured dairy product made by fermenting pasteurized whole milk with lactic acid bacteria, giving it a tangy flavor and slightly thickened, pourable consistency. Unlike traditional churned buttermilk (a butter-making byproduct), this modern version retains higher fat content while offering probiotics that support gut health. Its acidity tenderizes baked goods and marinades, making it a staple in recipes like pancakes, dressings, and fried chicken batters.
