@dietitansabine Guide to buying butter. I'm sure everyone is using butter during the holidays for cooking and baking. There are so many kinds in the grocery store, it is overwhelming. The best butter to cook or bake with is grass fed butter. When cows are pastured on their natural diet of grass, they produce milk with more healthy fats and fat-soluble vitamins, a better omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. Buying grass-fed dairy also supports more sustainable farming. If you want the best fuel for your body, organic, grass-fed butter is the best. Kerrygold butter from cotsco is a great option, you can also find it in your local supermarket. The best thing about Kerigold, which is not indicated on the label, is that it is 80% grass fed, 20% in the winter months when the cows have to be brought in from the cold weather. Even though this is not indicated on the label but Ireland has at least 80% grassfed practices so this also applies to cheeses as well and any dairy. Another amazing option is the NEW Kirkland brand grass fed butter and that is 95% grass fed. Both grass fed and conventional butter have the same amount of calories. Conventional butter sometimes has "natural flavors" which is another word for questionable ingredients. Take away: Always buy grass fed butter. It also has a less water content than your conventional butter, if you have baked with it you will know what i mean.
