Vegetable margarine
Vegetable margarine is a plant-based spread that is commonly used as a butter substitute. It is made from vegetable oils like sunflower, palm, or soybean oil, rather than animal fats like traditional butter. This makes it a popular choice for those looking for a non-dairy alternative.
To make vegetable margarine, oils are hydrogenated, which means they are treated with hydrogen to turn them into a solid form. This process helps to create a spreadable consistency similar to butter. Emulsifiers and flavourings are often added to improve the taste and texture of the final product.
You can find vegetable margarine listed on food labels as an ingredient in baked goods like cakes, cookies, and pastries. It is also used in spreads, dressings, and as a cooking fat. Its role is to provide a buttery flavour and texture, as well as to enhance the shelf life of products.
