Fleischmanns Original Soft Spread can be used in place of butter in most recipes. For baking, it can be creamed with sugar just like butter to create a base for cakes and cookies. It melts easily, making it suitable for sautéing vegetables or finishing dishes. You can also use it to moisten cooked grains or as a topping for baked potatoes. Its spreadability means no waiting for it to soften before use.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional butter, this spread is made with vegetable oils and is dairy-free, making it a suitable option for those avoiding dairy products. Its formulation ensures it remains soft and spreadable straight from the fridge, a characteristic that can differ from some butters which harden considerably when chilled.
Who it is for
Home cooks and bakers who prefer a dairy-free spread or need a product that is consistently easy to spread will find this useful.
How to keep the rest
To maintain its quality and texture, keep Fleischmanns Original Soft Spread refrigerated. Ensure the lid is tightly closed after each use to prevent it from drying out or absorbing other odors from the refrigerator. It is best used before the date indicated on the packaging.
