Tag: Heavy cream protein

Despite common belief, heavy whipping cream is not completely protein-free, as a single tablespoon contains approximately 0.3 grams of protein. This widespread misconception that heavy whipping cream has no protein arises from the fact that its high milkfat content drastically overshadows its minimal protein amount, rendering it an insignificant dietary source.

Half and half typically contains less than 1 gram of protein per tablespoon. This dairy product, made from a combination of whole milk and light cream, is primarily composed of fat, not protein. While it offers a creamy texture to coffee and other dishes, it is not a significant source of protein for your diet.
