As you probably know, the butter is made from pasteurized milk, which means that most of the butter available are anything but healthy.
On the other hand, the homemade organic butter is very healthy as it contains many of the vitamins and minerals found in raw milk. Butter contains vitamin A, which is of utmost importance when it comes to the health of our eyes, tissues, membranes, teeth, and skin. It also has a critical role in gene transcription. In addition to this, butter can protect against cancer, due to the fact that it comprises short and medium chain fatty acids.
ORGANIC BUTTER RECIPE
Ingredients:
– 2 cups organic heavy cream
– sea salt, to taste
Instructions:
First, put the cream into food processor and process for about ten minutes, after which you will get a thick whipped cream. Continue processing until the mixture turns grainy and it separates into butter and buttermilk. At this point, you should drain buttermilk from butter.
Put the butter into a colander and strain off the buttermilk. Then, rinse the butter, turning it with a spoon while the cold water runs over until it runs clear.
Once the butter is clean, squeeze liquid from it with a wooden spoon in order to smash it and pour off liquid. Finally, put the butter into a jar and keep it refrigerated. The homemade organic butter has a long shelf life and it can last a couple of months before going bad.
