Buttermilk Powder Food Grade -25kg

Buttermilk powder is a dry, powdered form of buttermilk, a byproduct of churning butter from cultured cream. It has a tangy flavor and is rich in proteins and lactic acid. This convenient and shelf-stable powder is commonly used in cooking and baking to add a subtle tanginess to recipes, such as pancakes, biscuits, and dressings, without the need for liquid buttermilk. It also serves as a convenient alternative for those who may not have access to fresh buttermilk.
