Buttermilk

[Suzierd]

I asked my daughter to grab me some Buttermilk on her way home and she brought me cultured Lowfat Buttermilk 1 percent. I noticed the second ingredient is salt is that with all buttermilk? Did I get the right kind? Thanks

Found this for you;
Nowadays, most commercial buttermilk is made by adding a lactic acid bacteria culture to pasteurized sweet whole milk or, more commonly skim milk or non-fat milk, and it may or may not have added butter flecks. After the addition of the culture, the milk is left to ferment for 12 to 14 hours at a low temperature (optimum 69 degrees F.). It is usually labeled cultured buttermilk and may be salted or unsalted. Most commercial varieties are salted, so check the label if you are on a sodium-restricted diet.

Now I see nothing wrong with offering a little of you butter milk.

Thanks Chris
I have always heard never give chickens salt, but I guess it's to small amount to worry about.
