The very name “sandwich butter” indicates its purpose: it’s meant for spreading on bread. However, it can also be added to prepared dishes—such as cereals, vegetable side dishes, potatoes, and vegetarian soups. It’s not recommended for frying, as it contains a high moisture content—up to 35 percent. For comparison, traditional farmer’s butter contains about 25 percent moisture.
Sandwich butter has a pleasant taste and aroma, making it suitable for people of all ages. It was developed based on dietitians’ recommendations. By reducing the amount of milk fat, the calorie content of sandwich butter is lowered by 40 percent. At the same time, its nutritional value is boosted by adding milk proteins, lactose, vitamins C and B, biotin, and anti-sclerotic substances like lecithin and choline, which are found in buttermilk. The buttermilk content in sandwich butter is twice that of other types of butter.
Buttermilk is highly nutritious while being low in calories. It contains proteins, fats, minerals, B vitamins, lactose, and other essential nutrients. Therefore, sandwich butter is particularly beneficial for people with atherosclerosis, liver disease, hypertension, anemia, and nervous system disorders.
Of course, healthy people can include sandwich butter more often in their diets, as it can help prevent disruptions in fat metabolism in the body. As mentioned, this butter is low in calories and contains a lower percentage of animal fat.
