Fresh Cream From Amul: Nutrition Facts Guide
Shoppers reach for this carton to thicken gravies, soften spice heat, and pull desserts together. The pack lists calories, fat, carbs, protein, and minerals per 100 grams. We’ve translated that panel into handy serving sizes and clear use cases so you can pour with confidence.
Amul describes the product as sterilized cream with minimum 25% milk fat, sold in 250 ml and 1 L cartons. The label shows 246 kcal, 25 g fat, 3.2 g carbohydrate, 2 g protein, 100 mg calcium, and 68 mg cholesterol per 100 g. Those are the numbers used for the portions below.
Quick Macro Snapshot
Most of the energy comes from fat. Carbohydrate comes mainly from natural milk lactose; added sugars are listed as zero on the panel. Protein is modest. Calcium is present, though milk and yogurt deliver more per calorie.
Table: Nutrition Per 100 g, 15 ml, And 30 ml
This table converts the back-panel figures into two kitchen-friendly portions. Values are rounded from the label and common conversions where 1 ml ≈ 1 g.
| Nutrient | Per 15 ml | Per 30 ml |
|---|---|---|
| Energy (kcal) | ~37 | ~74 |
| Total Fat (g) | ~3.8 | ~7.5 |
| Saturated Fat (g) | ~2.4 | ~4.8 |
| Carbohydrate (g) | ~0.5 | ~1.0 |
| Added Sugar (g) | 0 | 0 |
| Protein (g) | ~0.3 | ~0.6 |
| Calcium (mg) | ~15 | ~30 |
| Cholesterol (mg) | ~10 | ~20 |
How To Read The Label Like A Pro
Start with fat. At 25% milk fat, this cream sits between light cream and whipping cream in density. A spoon can change the feel of a dish fast, so scale up slowly when testing a new recipe.
Next, scan carbs and sugar lines. The pack lists added sugar as zero. Any sweetness comes from lactose, and the carb line is low at 3.2 g per 100 g.
Protein is modest at 2 g per 100 g. If you need more protein in a meal, pair cream with paneer, curd, lentils, or eggs.
Label Source And Standards
The figures in this guide trace back to the brand’s own page for the product (official nutrition info). For context on cream types and typical spoon calories, see the U.S. Dairy cream overview. Indian packs also follow labelling rules set by the food regulator; recent updates emphasize bold display of total sugar, salt, and saturated fat on the panel to aid shoppers.
Portions, Recipes, And Smart Swaps
In daily cooking, most uses fall into three bands: a tiny swirl, a measured splash, or a generous fold. The portion you choose should match the job: soften spice, add body, or build a dessert.
Small Swirl (Tea, Coffee, Or Soup)
A teaspoon (about 5 ml) adds only ~12 kcal and ~1.3 g fat. It smooths the edges in black coffee or tomato soup without tipping the dish into heavy territory.
Measured Splash (Gravy Finish)
For paneer makhani or dal makhani, 15–30 ml per bowl delivers mouthfeel without muting spices. That’s ~37–74 kcal with 3.8–7.5 g fat per serving.
Generous Fold (Desserts)
Fruit cream, shahi tukda sauce, or a light mousse may use 30–60 ml per plate. Chill the carton for a few hours if you plan to whip; cold cream traps air better.
Ingredient, Processing, And Storage Notes
The pack states milk fat 25% minimum, solids-not-fat 6.8%, and moisture 68.2%. It’s ultra-high-temperature treated and packed aseptically. That keeps it shelf-stable until opened.
Storage Basics
Keep sealed cartons in a cool, dry place. Once opened, move leftovers to a clean container, refrigerate, and finish soon for best flavor. If the cream separates after chilling, give it a gentle stir.
How This Cream Compares
Per spoon, this carton lands between table cream and whipping cream. You’ll see fewer calories than heavy cream and more than toned milk. That balance suits gravies and fruit mixes where you want gloss without too much weight.
When To Pick It
- You want silkier texture in curries without thickening with cashew paste.
- You need a neutral, dairy-based finish that doesn’t taste sour like yogurt.
- You’re whipping a light topping and don’t need firm peaks used for frosting.
When To Skip Or Swap
- Skip for high-heat frying; milk solids can brown fast.
- Swap to whole milk for a thinner mouthfeel and lower calories per spoon.
- Use heavy cream when you need stable whipped peaks or ganache.
Table: Common Uses And Calorie Impact
These ranges assume the same label values scaled by volume. Actual recipes vary, so treat them as a planning guide.
| Use Case | Typical Amount | Calories Added |
|---|---|---|
| Tea/Coffee swirl | 5 ml | ~12 kcal |
| Soup finish | 10 ml | ~25 kcal |
| Dal or gravy | 15 ml | ~37 kcal |
| Paneer curry | 30 ml | ~74 kcal |
| Pasta sauce | 45 ml | ~110 kcal |
| Fruit cream bowl | 60 ml | ~148 kcal |
Allergens, Diet Fit, And Tips
Allergen Heads-Up
This is a milk product. Anyone with dairy allergy should avoid it. Those with lactose intolerance may tolerate small amounts in cooked dishes, but responses vary.
Vegetarian And Halal Fit
It’s dairy with no listed additives or gelatin. Check the pack for any country-specific logos if you follow a certification.
Weight, Blood Lipids, And Sodium
Calories come quickly with cream. Balance portions across the plate by adding lean protein and fibrous veg. Sodium on the panel is low; watch the salt in the recipe itself.
Buying And Shelf Life
The carton carries a 120-day best-before window from packaging when stored sealed in a cool, dry place. Once opened, keep cold and use soon for best aroma and texture.
Method Notes: How We Calculated Portions
All numbers are derived from the brand’s per-100-g panel and basic kitchen conversions: 1 ml is treated as 1 g for simplicity. That’s a common approach with dairy cream. Where a range is shown, the math multiplies the label line by the portion size, then rounds to reader-friendly figures.
Practical Takeaways You Can Use Tonight
To Thicken A Curry Fast
Kill the heat, swirl in 15 ml, and stir for 30 seconds. Add another spoon only if the sauce still feels sharp.
To Build A Quick Dessert
Toss cut fruit with a spoon of sugar and a pinch of salt, fold in 30 ml chilled cream per portion, and serve cold.
To Smooth Iced Coffee
Shake the carton, add 5 ml to a glass with ice, then pour coffee. The tiny dose rounds the drink without masking the roast.
