Ingredient Information

Sour Creams

There are three types of sour cream on the market now.

The regular version has 5 grams of fat per 2 tablespoons. Of this 3.5 grams are saturated. There are 60 total calories with 50 of them coming from fat.

Reduced or lowered fat sour cream has only 3.5 grams of fat in 2 tablespoons (2.5 saturated). Each serving is 45 calories.

The fat free or non-fat sour cream is just that. Most of the calories are from carbohydrates.

The regular and reduced fat can be used in cooking but even at moderate temperatures the fat free sour cream separates easily. When adding it to hot sauces or soups, cool them first and then add the sour cream, reheating gently.

Sour cream has an insignificant amount of Vitamin K.
