Rich/nutricious butters

How boring life would be without savory cheeses; smooth creamy yogurts; rich butters and ice creams!

Hi,
Does "rich" in the above equal "nutricious" or something else? Thanks.

Not nutritious . " Rich : (of food) delectably and perhaps unhealthfully spicy, or sweet and abounding in butter or cream" . As you can see from this dictionary definition, 'rich butters and ice creams' is somewhat redundant.
