"To make heavy cream, butterfat is removed from dairy milk before it can be homogenized. While whole milk contains around 3.25% fat, heavy whipping cream can contain anywhere between 36 to 40% fat. This significant difference equates to about 8 grams of fat and 150 calories in a cup of whole milk versus just shy of 86 grams of fat and 809 calories in a cup of heavy cream."
"Heavy cream is high in calcium and contains healthy vitamins and minerals including vitamins A and D, like whole milk. However, while (hopefully obviously) you wouldn't want to drink heavy cream straight because of its steep caloric and fat content, heavy cream's high fat makes it an excellent choice in several cooking and baking applications. If you'd like the benefits of drinking milk including bone health, protein content (about 8 grams per cup),"
Heavy cream contains roughly 36–40% fat and about 809 calories per cup, while whole milk contains about 3.25% fat and roughly 150 calories per cup. Heavy cream provides calcium and fat-soluble vitamins A and D. Whole milk supplies around 8 grams of protein per cup and supports bone health and immune function. Heavy cream's high fat and low water content make it ideal for sauces, baking, confections, and enriching dishes or coffee in small amounts. Drinking whole or low-fat milk is preferable for daily protein and bone-supporting nutrients due to lower calories and fat.
