Tag: Full cream

Full cream milk contains around 3.5% fat, while light milk typically ranges from 0.5% to 2%. Yes, you can use light milk instead of full cream, but the success depends heavily on the recipe and whether you're willing to accept changes in texture, richness, and flavor.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, heavy cream is a high-fat dairy product with very low carbohydrate content. This makes full cream on keto not only permissible but a highly versatile and delicious component of a ketogenic diet, provided you understand the crucial difference between cream and regular milk.

For decades, dietary guidelines advised people to choose low-fat dairy products to reduce saturated fat and calorie intake. However, emerging research now questions this advice, suggesting that dairy fat may have a more complex impact on health than previously thought. This shift has reignited the debate: Is low fat healthier than full cream?
