Plugra butter

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Plugrá Butter is a type of butter that is produced in the United States. It is a high-quality product that is often used by professional chefs and bakers due to its low moisture content and high fat content.

History[edit | edit source]

The name "Plugrá" is derived from the French words "plus gras", which translates to "more fat". This is a reference to the higher fat content of Plugrá Butter compared to regular butter. The brand was established in the 1990s and has since gained a reputation for its superior quality and consistency.

Production[edit | edit source]

Plugrá Butter is made from cow's milk. The milk is first pasteurized to kill any harmful bacteria. It is then churned to separate the butterfat from the buttermilk. The butterfat is what is used to make the butter.

The distinguishing feature of Plugrá Butter is its low moisture content. This is achieved through a process known as slow-churning. This process allows the water in the butter to evaporate, resulting in a product that has a higher fat content and less moisture.

Uses[edit | edit source]

Due to its high fat content and low moisture content, Plugrá Butter is particularly well-suited for baking. It provides a rich, creamy flavor and a smooth texture that is ideal for pastries, cakes, and other baked goods. It is also commonly used in cooking, as it can withstand high cooking temperatures without burning.

Health and Nutrition[edit | edit source]

Like all butter, Plugrá Butter is high in saturated fat. However, it also contains vitamin A, vitamin D, and other essential nutrients. It is important to consume it in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
