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? Thanks! |

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. -- As you accelerate your food, it takes exponentially more and more energy to increase its velocity, until you hit a limit at C.

In other words, it's whipping cream.

It is obtained in a separation procedure, in centrifuges, where the milkfat tends to rise to the middle of centrifuges and the watery sustances to the outside. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- @ @ @ Please forgive my typos as my right hand is injured. @ @ @ char*p="char*p=%c%s%c;main(){printf(p,34,p,34);}"; main(){printf(p,34,p,34);} "It's never too late to have a happy childhood." |

Make sure you read ingredients. Many brands have additives which raise the carb level. You want to find a brand that has only cream and nothing else in it. Rebecca |

Make sure you read ingredients. Many brands have additives which raise the carb level. You want to find a brand that has only cream and nothing else in it. In the US, that'll be difficult to do. Most commercial creams have stabilizers and gums in them. Creams are defined by the fat content. Heavy cream has more 30% milkfat. There are other standard creams that have more fat with the usual divisions at 36% and 40% (although it's rare to find that last one at retail). Then, they're usually called whipping cream.
