About Slice of butter
A slice of butter is a rich, creamy dairy product made from the churning of milk or cream, primarily consisting of fats, water, and milk proteins. Originating from Western culinary traditions, butter is a staple ingredient in cuisines around the globe, used to enhance flavor and texture in both savory and sweet dishes. One slice (approximately 1 tablespoon) contains around 100 calories and is high in saturated fats, which can contribute to cholesterol levels if consumed excessively. Butter also provides small amounts of essential vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin D, though these nutrients can be obtained through healthier food sources. While it is valued for its ability to enrich dishes and its role in traditional recipes, moderation is recommended due to its calorie density and fat content. Healthier alternatives such as plant-based spreads or oils may be considered for a more balanced diet.
