About Sahne
Sahne, which translates to cream in German, is a dairy product derived from the fatty portion of milk. It is a staple in European cuisines, especially in German, French, and Austrian dishes, often used in soups, sauces, desserts, and coffee. Sahne is high in fat, offering approximately 333 calories per 100 grams with 33 grams of fat, 3 grams of protein, and 3 grams of carbohydrates.
