Healthy Reasons To Enjoy Verka Butter
Butter like many other things in life is best when enjoyed in moderation. Though it is a good source of many nutrients and contains a variety of vitamins, it is not advisable to use butter as the main constituent in our diet.
Butter is an important source of vitamins A, D, K and E. The vitamin it is richest in is Vitamin A which is needed for a healthy immune system, aids proper vision in the dark and helps in keeping our skin healthy. Butter is a rich source of Vitamin A in a form that our body can use easily. Butter also contains Vitamin D that is necessary for healthy bones, teeth and muscles. Vitamin E from butter also helps in maintaining healthy skin and eyes. Vitamin B12 helps in supporting our nervous system. Vitamin K2 in butter is important for blood clotting and Calcium is responsible for strong bones and teeth.
Butter is a very useful ingredient during the cooking process plays a key role in the preparation of tasty and nutritious dishes. When it is used to cook vegetables, it helps our bodies process and absorb water-soluble vitamins and minerals found in the vegetables.
It is also a source of omega-3 fatty acids. This is a great piece of information for those of you, like me who do not have a regular diet that includes fish and seafood. When cows are fed on grass, their butter contains more omega-3 acids. So, we should make it a point to buy good quality butter from grass-fed cattle. Not just vitamins and omega-3, our bodies need minerals like manganese, zinc, chromium and iodine in tiny quantities. Butter is also a good source of these important minerals.
Butter protects against gastrointestinal infections. This protective function comes from a type of fat in butter called ‘glycosphingolipids’. This is proven from studies that found that the incidence of diarrhea is much lower in children who drink whole milk than children who consume skimmed milk.
Butter should be nutritious, creamy, flavorful and easy to spread and you will find that Verka butter ticks all these boxes.
