About Cream, sour, cultured
Sour cream is cream that's been cultured with bacteria to thicken it and lend a pleasant tang. A dollop finishes a baked potato, cools a spicy chilli or taco, and enriches everything from dips to cakes with its smooth, slightly acidic creaminess.
Being made from cream, it's high in fat and calories, with only modest amounts of protein and calcium — the lighter and fat-free versions cut the fat but often add thickeners. It's an enriching, finishing ingredient rather than a nutritional contributor.
A spoonful brings richness and a cooling tang for not many spoonfuls' worth of calories; used to finish a dish rather than fill a bowl, it's one of the kitchen's handier flourishes.
