Cream, whipping, UHT

UHT whipping cream is a dairy product that has been heat-treated at an ultra-high temperature to extend its shelf life before opening. It mainly provides fat and energy, with smaller amounts of carbohydrate and protein. Per 100g, it contains 1539 kJ of energy and 39g of fat, including 25g of saturated fat. It also provides 609µg of vitamin A.

Fat is a concentrated source of energy, so the amount of cream used affects its contribution to energy and saturated fat intake. Vitamin A supports normal vision, immune function and the maintenance of skin. The saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring their intake.
