Sour Cream is Paleo Safe!
Why is Sour Cream Paleo?
We think Sour Cream is OK to eat on the Paleo diet because it is semi-healthy, taste great, and is only needed in moderation. Fermented dairy products like Sour Cream are good for your gut health and keep your insides working at 100%

People strictly follow the Paleo diet try to avoid dairy foods like Milk and Cream. Also Sour Cream is made of fermented cream and lactic acid – which humans in the Paleo era did not have access to – even though it has health benefits.
