30. Cream

Many types of cream are available, which vary in richness and fat content, so there really is no excuse not to include some in your cooking or eating. American half-and-half contains 10-12 percent milk fat, while light cream (also called coffee or table cream) and sour cream have about 20 percent. Whipping cream (also called light whipping cream) contains 30-36 percent fat; heavy cream (also called heavy whipping cream) has 36-40 percent. Only creams with a higher fat content, above 35 percent, can be whipped or frozen. British clotted cream, with 55 percent fat, is the richest cream of all.
