What is the difference between whole milk and buttermilk?

Buttermilk is a by product of making butter from whole milk, slightly sour and is the liquid that is left when butter has been churned. Whole milk is milk that has normally been heated to pasteurise it and nothing is added or taken away. Buttermilk can be made at home (without the need to make butter!). To a cup of milk add a tablespoon of lemon juice, stand for about five minutes and use as required. Dispose when you've used what you have needed to use.
