Best Answer

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.

Is buttermilk fattening?

Buttermilk is lower in fat and calories than regular milk because the fat from buttermilk has already been removed to make butter. It is high in potassium, vitamin B12 and calcium. Buttermilk is more easily digestible than whole milk and it also contains more lactic acid than skim milk. Due to being more easily digestible (a result of the bacteria added to the milk), protein and calcium can be taken up more easily by the body. There are 99 kilocalories and 2.2 grams of fat in one cup of buttermilk (fat content may be different with some buttermilk brands), as opposed to whole milk that has 157 kilocalories and 8.9 grams of fat.
