Cultured buttermilk vs. traditional buttermilk
Did you know that cultured buttermilk, also known as buttermilk culture, is actually different from traditional buttermilk?
The residual liquid from making butter is known as traditional buttermilk. It can be consumed as a beverage or added to recipes in place of water for a nutritional boost.
Cultured buttermilk, on the other hand, is what's commonly used in recipes and is similar to yogurt as it is made using live beneficial bacteria. This buttermilk culture can be consumed as a thick, creamy beverage, used in cooking, or created with a Cultured Buttermilk Starter.
