About Cream, half and half, lowfat
It's a versatile dairy product that sits between milk and cream in terms of richness and fat content. Made by combining equal parts whole milk and light cream, it delivers a smooth, velvety texture that's perfect for adding body to recipes without the heaviness of full cream. With around 72 calories per 100 grams, it contains a moderate amount of fat—about 5 grams—making it a lighter alternative to heavy cream while still offering a satisfying mouthfeel. Its protein content is modest at 3.3 grams, and it's naturally free of fiber, so it won't contribute to digestive bulk but will add a small amount of protein to your meal.
This ingredient is a staple in coffee, where it provides a creamy consistency without overpowering the brew's flavor. It's also widely used in sauces, soups, and desserts to create a silky texture without the richness of full-fat cream. Because of its lower fat content, it can curdle more easily when heated to high temperatures, so it's best added toward the end of cooking or used in gentle simmering. For those watching their calorie or fat intake, it's a useful compromise—offering the indulgence of cream with fewer calories and less saturated fat than heavier options.
