Butter is a dairy product that is made by churning cream or milk until it reaches a solid state. As you can see, butter is very high in calories and fat, with a 100-gram serving providing over 80 grams of fat. Most of the fat in butter is saturated, which is why it is often considered unhealthy when consumed in excess. However, butter is also a good source of vitamin A, which is important for vision and immune function. Additionally, it contains small amounts of other vitamins and minerals, including calcium and iron. Here are the nutrition facts for a 100-gram serving of unsalted butter:
