About Half tsp butter
Half a teaspoon of butter is a small serving of this rich, creamy dairy product traditionally made from churning cow’s milk. Butter is widely used in various cuisines worldwide, from European pastries to Asian stir-fries, serving as a flavorful foundation for cooking and baking. In this modest amount, butter provides roughly 17 calories, 2 grams of fat (primarily saturated), with trace amounts of vitamins like A and D. While primarily known for its high-fat content, butter is a natural source of energy and can enhance the taste of many dishes. However, excessive consumption of saturated fats can contribute to cardiovascular concerns. In moderation, half a teaspoon of butter can elevate flavor profiles without overwhelming nutritional goals, making it a versatile ingredient for mindful cooking.
