Buttermilk is low-fat or skim milk to which bacterial cultures are added to produce a thick texture and tangy flavour. Its calorie and fat content is about the same as 1 percent low-fat milk. It may or may not be fortified with Vitamins A and D.
Buttermilk often has added sodium, about twice the amount found in milk.
