Is heavy cream and fresh cream are same?

Heavy cream and fresh cream are not the same. Heavy cream, also known as heavy whipping cream, contains a higher fat content (around 36% or more), making it suitable for whipping and creating rich sauces. Fresh cream, on the other hand, typically has a lower fat content (around 18-30%) and is often used in cooking or as a topping but does not whip as well as heavy cream.
