When baking, you can typically substitute this dairy-free spread for butter in a one-to-one ratio. For sautéing, use it over medium heat to prevent burning, as its smoke point may differ from dairy butter. It can also be melted and incorporated into sauces or used as a topping for cooked grains or vegetables. Its neutral flavor makes it adaptable to a wide range of recipes without overpowering other ingredients. Experiment with it in your favorite recipes to see how it performs.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike dairy butter, this spread contains no milk solids. This means it will not brown in the same way when heated, and it may have a slightly different mouthfeel. Its plant-based composition also makes it suitable for those avoiding all animal-derived ingredients.
