Default A Quick QUestion

I've been lurking for a while and have a question. Many here mention "heavy
cream" as part of their diet. Is this evaporated milk, condensed milk,
half&half or what?


It's cream, the stuff you whip to make whipped cream. Cream comes in
light and heavy, light and heavy referring to the butterfat content.

Half and half is lower butterfat content still becuase it's half cream
and half milk. Heavy cream has more fat, more calories and fewer carbs
than light cream, light cream has the same relation to half and half,
and then comes whole milk.

In many groceries, heavy cream is only sold by the half pint or pint. I
have found a few that sell it by the quart, but even so, it's expensive.
But my point is not about cost, but that you may have overlooked it
in the stores cause it's often sold in tiny containers.
