I have been investigating cream. Is it a real food?
Wki states that cream is the dairy product that is composed of the higher butterfat layer skimmed from the milk before it is homogenized or blended. Why can’t they just say blended? that would make things much more understandable.
Single cream, double cream, sour cream, whipping cream are all real food, although you should try and buy organic if you can.
So what about squirty cream – the stuff in the can, can that be classed as real food?
Dairy Cream (95%) , Sugar (5.0%) , Emulsifier (Lactic Acid Esters of Mono and Diglycerides of Fatty Acids) , Stabiliser (Carrageenan) , Propellant Gas (Nitrous Oxide) .
That is what it says on the tin/can so that makes it NOT real food and it even has sugar in it, oops!
Long life cream
Buttermilk (63%) , Vegetable Fat (26%) , Vegetable Oil (8.8%) , Buttermilk Powder , Emulsifiers: E435, E322 (from Soya) , Lactose , Stabilisers: E412, E410 , Colour: 160a .
Now i didn’t know it contained all that lot, not real food either.
Creme fraiche
Most definitely is real food.
You definitly can’t eat strawberries without cream, well i can’t anyway, but you really shouldn’t eat this cream -
Brillant lady you are B ………….

Thanks for the facts …:)
Love your investigations
hunting down the real food xxxx
SERIOUSLY RIGHT ? lol
xoxoxoxoxo lol
Where is it ?????? lol
let me know if you find any
Aw, what do you have against nice moist strawberries?!
The item we have around here that I have mixed feelings about is “ultra-pasteurized” cream – it comes in all the different “fat grades” from half and half (1.75 g fat per tablespoon) to whipping (or heavy) cream (5 g fat per tablespoon), and the nice thing is that it will keep several weeks after you open it. So what’s in it?
“cream, milk, carrageenan, mono and diglycerides, cellulose gum (!), and polysorbate 80″. Rats. I guess this isn’t food either!
I love strawberries, even in jam. I think the cream you are on about we call long life and no its not real food.
good information and a good laugh at the end. Excellent post.
glad you enjoyed it. I put ‘cream’ in the search on a local store website and that’s what it came up with too.
Apart from the very last picture, I can honestly
say that Cream is a foodstuff and so exquisitely
naughty, well it can be but as this is my very 1st
visit to your world of blogging I will leave this one
as is and everyone that reads it can use their own
imagination on whatever they wish
Have a great Friday and weekend…
