Buttermilk and the Milk Free Diet

Buttermilk is a dairy product that results from the fermentation of milk, typically cow's milk. The fermentation process gives buttermilk its characteristic tangy taste and thicker consistency. It is commonly used in baking and cooking to add richness and flavor, as well as in marinades and dressings. Traditionally, buttermilk was the liquid left behind after churning butter from cream, but most commercial buttermilk today is cultured by adding bacterial cultures to low-fat or skim milk.
