Heavy Cream
Moderate nutritional value
Heavy (whipping) cream with about 36% fat, values per 100 g.
Heavy cream is the fat-rich layer skimmed from milk, whipped for desserts and used to enrich sauces, soups and coffee. It is about one third fat: a 15 g tablespoon has about 50 kcal and 5.4 g of fat, 3.5 g of it saturated, with about 60 µg of vitamin A from the milk fat and almost no protein or sugar. Cream with at least 30-35% fat whips well; lighter creams do not hold their shape.
