Amul Butter Nutrition Info By Serving Size
People rarely eat 100g of butter at once, so the best way to read the label is by common kitchen portions. A pea-size dab on hot dal, or a quick swipe on toast, often lands near 5g. That 5g dab delivers about 36 kcal and roughly 4g fat. A slightly larger pat that you get in cafes weighs around 10g. That 10g pat gives about 72 kcal, about 8g fat, a trace 0g carbs, around 0.1g protein, and roughly 84mg sodium in the salted block.
A tablespoon scoop is closer to 14g. One tablespoon of Amul salted butter sits near 100 kcal, around 11g fat, and roughly 115mg sodium. Push that out to 100g and you reach the classic nutrition panel: about 722 kcal, 80g total fat, 51g saturated fat, 0g carbs, 0.5g protein, and around 836mg sodium.
| Serving Size | Calories (kcal) | Fat (g) / Sodium (mg) |
|---|---|---|
| 5g Dab | 36 | 4g fat / ~42mg sodium* |
| 10g Pat | 72 | 8g fat / ~84mg sodium |
| 1 Tbsp (14g) | 100 | 11g fat / ~115mg sodium |
| 100g Block Info | 722 | 80g fat / ~836mg sodium |
*The 5g sodium number scales to roughly half the 10g pat, so you’re still adding salt even with a tiny smear.
The fat in this dairy spread is mainly saturated fat: around 51g out of 80g total fat per 100g in the salted block. That ratio is why butter tastes rich and melts fast on hot paratha or pav bhaji. Saturated fat is firm at room temp, so it gives that solid, sliceable texture.
What Goes Into The Classic Salted Block
The yellow carton lists pasteurised milk fat as the base. Amul sets milk fat at not less than 80 percent, moisture around 16 percent, curd up to 1 percent, and salt up to 3 percent. That salt is why the salted stick tastes savory and also why sodium shows up on the label. You can see the same numbers on the Amul table butter data sheet.
The salted block also carries vitamin A: about 650 micrograms per 100g. Vitamin A helps with normal vision and cell growth. Butter already has natural vitamin A from milk fat, and the brand boosts it further.
Protein is tiny. The label shows roughly 0.5g protein per 100g, which rounds down to 0g in spoon-size servings. Carbs sit at 0g, sugars at 0g. So you’re getting flavor, calories, fat, sodium, and some fat-soluble vitamins, but not much protein or fiber.
Calories per 100g land near 722 kcal for the salted block. Lite spread from the same brand drops that to about 587 kcal per 100g by trimming fat down to 65g instead of 80g. That swap alone cuts energy per spoon, even though Lite still tastes creamy because it’s made from milk fat, not vegetable oil.
Saturated Fat, Sodium, And Daily Limits
Butter flavor comes from saturated fat. A 100g block of the salted stick lists about 51g of saturated fat and 180mg cholesterol. Public nutrition guidance says to cap saturated fat under 10 percent of daily calories, which lands around 20g per day on a 2,000 kcal plan. That means a single 30g slab, near two tablespoons, can use most of that daily budget in one go.
The same guidance also encourages swapping part of that saturated fat with oils higher in unsaturated fat, like olive or canola oil, because that swap can help lower LDL cholesterol. So if you fry aloo or toast bread in butter, you could finish with a tiny pat for taste, then cook the rest with a splash of oil. This keeps butter in the meal without loading the pan with only saturated fat.
Sodium matters too. Adults and teens 14 years and up are advised to stay under about 2,300mg sodium per day. Salted Amul butter clocks around 836mg sodium per 100g, or about 84mg in a 10g pat. That 84mg doesn’t look huge, but it stacks fast if you salt food during cooking, add pickles, and melt two or three pats across the plate.
Unsalted (white) Amul butter skips the added salt. Bakers like it because it lets them control seasoning gram by gram instead of working around pre-salted fat. That flexibility matters for cakes, buttercream, and pastry dough where extra salt can throw off taste.
Here’s where an official source comes in. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans advises keeping saturated fat under 10 percent of calories and keeping sodium below 2,300mg per day for most people 14 and up. You can read the same language in the less than 10% saturated fat fact sheet from health.gov.
Salted Vs Unsalted Vs Lite Spread
Amul sells three spreads that most households see side by side in the dairy case: salted table butter, unsalted white butter, and Amul Lite milk fat spread. All three come from milk, not vegetable oil, but the numbers shift in a way that can help with day to day choices.
Salted table butter: about 722 kcal per 100g, 80g total fat, 51g saturated fat, 836mg sodium, and 650 micrograms vitamin A. Unsalted white butter: 740 kcal per 100g and about 82g fat per 100g, but without that 3 percent salt. Amul Lite: about 587 kcal per 100g, 65g fat, and about 725mg sodium per 100g. Lite sits in the middle: less fat per spoon than full-fat butter, yet still salty because sodium lands near 725mg per 100g.
| Product Type | Calories Per 100g | Sodium Per 100g |
|---|---|---|
| Salted Table Butter | ~722 kcal | ~836mg |
| White Unsalted Butter | ~740 kcal | Trace* |
| Amul Lite Milk Fat Spread | ~587 kcal | ~725mg |
*Unsalted butter has sodium only from natural milk solids, not added table salt, so the label stays low.
Two extra notes from the brand make the comparison clearer. First, Amul Lite markets itself as “0 percent vegetable oil,” which tells you it is still milk fat, so it cooks and browns more like butter than margarine. Second, Lite still packs 65g fat per 100g and close to 600 kcal per 100g, so “Lite” does not mean a low calorie food. You’re shaving fat grams compared with the salted stick, not dropping to a lean spread.
How To Use Amul Butter Without Going Overboard
A small pat goes further than most people think. Melt a 5g dab over steamed veggies or dal after cooking instead of letting a tablespoon sit in the pan from the start. That trick keeps flavor on top where you taste it first, while trimming both calories and saturated fat in the base of the dish.
Toast hack: brush bread with a few drops of a neutral oil, toast it, then swipe a half pat of salted butter across the hot surface. You still get that Amul taste, but you’re closer to the 5g dab than the tablespoon scoop.
Paratha and pav bhaji stalls love to sizzle veggies in butter and then crown the plate with one more slab. That extra slab often lands near 10g, which checks in around 72 kcal, about 8g fat, and around 84mg sodium. If you’re watching sodium or saturated fat, you can ask for “half butter on top” and still get the glossy look.
Baking tip: reach for unsalted white butter in sweets and buttercream. You can dial in salt on your own, gram by gram. For dishes where spreadability matters more than browning, such as a sandwich, Amul Lite can shave down fat grams and total kcal per spoon.
Practical Wrap-Up On Amul Butter
Amul salted table butter is dense in energy, fat, and carries salt plus vitamin A. A teaspoon-size dab is already 36 kcal, and a tablespoon lands near 100 kcal. That check shows why a few casual slabs across paratha, toast, or corn can nudge daily fat and sodium higher than you planned.
The flip side: butter delivers flavor fast, which means you don’t need a mountain to enjoy it. Keep the big slab for rare treats, lean on smaller pats day to day, and use oil for the bulk fry. That rhythm lines up with public advice from health.gov about swapping some saturated fat for unsaturated fat and staying under daily sodium and saturated fat caps.
