30% cream or plant-based yogurt

Description

30% cream has a rich, creamy taste and a smooth, white-cream consistency, while plant-based yogurt can be lighter, slightly tangy, and creamy depending on the base (soy, coconut, oat, almond). Both add creaminess to dishes, but they differ in calorie content and ingredient profile: cream provides saturated fats and energy and aids in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, while plant-based yogurt usually has less saturated fat, may be enriched with calcium and vitamins, and often contains probiotic cultures and is lactose-free. In the kitchen, 30% cream is great for sauces, cream soups, desserts, and whipping into whipped cream, while plant-based yogurt works well in smoothies, dressings, dips, and as a healthier alternative in baking or breakfast. Store in the refrigerator at ≤4°C, tightly sealed, according to the expiration date; after opening, use within a few days, avoiding multiple freeze-thaw cycles due to texture changes.
