Butter is powerful, life giving, healthy, pure, sacred and created by the nature to nurture the body. Most cultures around the world consider butter as an intimate part of healthy diet. It takes 20 pounds of fresh cow’s whole milk to make one pound of butter. An important thing is that it is a high energy food that can be obtained without killing an animal. The fat content of butter ranges from 75% to 80%, and the rest is water and milk solids. This means that butter isn’t pure fat; rather, it is an emulsion.
