Whether you use it in mashed potatoes or bake your favorite cake with it, among all dairy products, butter is a staple in many refrigerators and dining tables around the world. From salted and unsalted butter to churned and clarified, butter can add new flavors to your favorite foods. Butter is a concentrated source of milk fat with some water and nonfat milk solids. It is prepared from milk, cream or both of these ingredients. Traditional butter (80% milk fat) is made from pasteurized cream and can be salted (often referred to as sweet cream butter) or unsalted. Another common type of butter is churned butter, which is called regular butter. Clarified butter is clarified melted butter separated from milk solids and water. Since clarified butter can be heated to a higher temperature without burning, it is a good choice for frying food. Butter contains vitamin D, a nutrient that is vital for the growth and development of bones. Butter, like other types of dairy products, contains calcium, which is essential for bone strength. Calcium also helps prevent diseases such as osteoporosis, a condition that makes bones weak and brittle. Butter also contains vitamin E, which plays a role in skin health.
