Sour cream is believed to have originated in Eastern Europe, particularly in countries like Ukraine and Russia. It has been a staple in their cuisine for centuries. The process of making sour cream involves fermenting cream with lactic acid bacteria, which gives it its tangy flavor and thick, creamy texture. Sour cream is widely used in various dishes, including desserts, dips, dressings, and as a topping for soups, tacos, and baked potatoes. It has also become popular in many other cuisines around the world.
