Do you know if heavy cream freezes? I hope so
I’m going to be that old lady with a hoard of bacon, butter and cheese in my fridge. Lol.
I remember struggling with my health and weight and reading stuff about cutting out fat and thinking I had two grandmothers who ate butter, cream and cheese and lived to the ripe old age of 92. It didn’t seem right. Imagine my joy when I heard about LCHF and realized I could be healthy and enjoy butter with out guilt.
I use 35%fat cream so that explains why i don’t have a problem with freezing.I was actually looking for this info yesterday and it apparently depends on the fat content - the higher the better the cream will freeze. Anything over 35% fat should apparently be OK: https://www.grahamsfamilydairy.com/news-events/blog/can-you-freeze-double-cream
And for your US heavy cream - another how to do it link:

I've always eaten butter since I was a small child over 70 years ago - my mum was a great fan of it and one of her great joys in her old age was when they retired to Cormwall and lived close to a farm shop that sold their own butter. She was a great believer in having a little bread with her butter and lived to over 95 - however my magerine eating mother-in-law was well over 100 at her death - so go figure!

It's main claim to fame is that it's made with milk from Irish "grass fed" cows, which I've always assumed is the case with UK butter anyway, but may not always be the case in the USA? It's apparently richer in nutrients than that from grain/non grass fed animals.What's special about Kerry gold?

This is too funny. Our ALLOWED BACK INTO WISONSIN, the dairy state where KG was illegal to sell here now has ‘ product of US on the label. Lol
I have those 2 oz condiment cups and just froze it. Haven’t tried it yet but ingred were cream and gellan gum ( yuk). No carbs so just cream
Do you get cream without gellan gum or carrageenan.
Other posts address the technical differences - all I know is that it's the best tasting I can buy from the store here in Florida.What's special about Kerry gold?
I’ll have to search a little and see just how bad gellan gum is. Some have carrageenan and I don’t touch thatWe sure do. Just having a strong cup of coffee and cream. Nothing but cream on the ingredient list.
Yipeee Butter!!!It’s comfimed.
Butter both before meals keeps bs lower.
Even better, it totally helps my DP.
Not too much of a hardship!!!
Glad to see you have found something to help you that works, Thank you for sharing this experiment.Yay
The most amazing thing is the fasting change. I might have to drop basal a bit. I did last night and woke up at 91 instead of 120 and I took one less unit.
Who knows.... maybe I’m doing something else different but I don’t think so and it’s been pretty consistent. I know my meals are the same exact thing.Glad to see you have found something to help you that works, Thank you for sharing this experiment.
