The spread has a smooth texture and a mild flavor, making it versatile for various culinary applications. It is typically found in the refrigerated section of grocery stores.
How people cook with it
This spread is commonly used as a direct substitute for butter or other margarines in everyday cooking and baking. Its composition makes it suitable for spreading and incorporating into recipes.
- Spreading on toast

- Making sauces
When baking, this spread can be creamed with sugar just like butter to create a base for cookies, cakes, and pastries. It can also be melted and added to batters or used to sauté vegetables and meats. For sauces, it can be incorporated to add richness and a smooth consistency. It is also excellent for simply spreading on bread, crackers, or muffins.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional butter, this spread contains added omega-3 fatty acids derived from vegetable sources. Its formulation also means it has a different melting point and texture, which can subtly affect the outcome of baked goods. It is dairy-free, unlike butter.
