Is anyone familiar with manufacturing cream? My husband got me some from a restaurant supply. It has a much higher percent of milk fat than any cream you can buy in the grocery store. I can taste the difference too. I have been drinking heavy cream to up my fat and this is much more dense.
Main ingredient is cream. It didn't break everything down since it was commercial and not labled for sale to the public but it didn't contain any hidden sugars. It says one tablespoon is 50 calories with 50 calories from fat.
It had some stabilizers in it - "Simply put, mono- and diglycerides are fats. They are made from oil,usually soybean, cottonseed, sunflower, or palm oil, act as emulsifiers (provide a consistent texture and prevent separation), and are used in most baked products to keep them from getting stale. In ice cream and other processed foods, including margarine, instant potatoes, and chewing gum, they serve as stabilizers, which give foods body and improve consistency"
It also has carrageenan (seaweed extract) info here --> http://recipes.howstuffworks.com/question315.htm
What do you guys think? I am pleased to have it because I need to up my fats and it seems like a good idea to me. I see nothing in the ingredients I can't have and I never go over what Dr. Atkin's says we can have for cream allowance (3 oz a day). I am just at a very paranoid stage right now and I am wary of everything. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
