Butter

Butter is made from milk or cream or both, with or without common salt, and contains no less than 80 percent (by weight) of milkfat. Butter is a natural dairy product made by churning or shaking cream until it reaches a semi-solid state.

To Buy:

Buy in blocks from the supermarket. Lightly salted butter is used for general cooking, and unsalted butter for baking.

To Store:

You can store butter (opened or unopened) up to one month in a refrigerator. Opened butter should always be put in a separate refrigerator compartment or in a covered butter dish to prevent them from absorbing other food odours.

Tips & Tricks:

Butter contains 4 grams of fat per teaspoon. Enjoy it in moderation and try to limit intake by spreading it soft - so it goes further. Cool your toast before spreading butter on it. Use olive oil over cooked veggies instead of butter and avoid any bread and butter at night. A serve of butter is calculated per teaspoon.

Cooking Tips:

For baking, nothing really beats butter - use sparingly as a treat.
