Sour cream in five languages

What it is

Cultured cream with a mild tang, spooned onto soups, dumplings, pancakes and boiled potatoes across the region. Its energy comes almost entirely from fat, so the percentage on the tub (10%, 20%, 25%) is the number that matters most for calories.

Calories

As a rough guide, Sour cream is roughly 190 kcal per 100 g at 20% fat; light versions are lower. Treat that as an orientation figure: the exact number depends on the brand, the fat content and how it is cooked. For a precise figure, look the specific product up in a food database.
