About Margarine, margarine-type vegetable oil spread, 70% fat, soybean and partially hydrogenated soybean, stick
Margarine is a butter substitute made mainly from vegetable oils, invented in 19th-century France as an affordable alternative to dairy butter. Oils such as soybean, canola, sunflower, or palm are emulsified with water and often a little milk or salt, then firmed up so the spread behaves like butter in cooking and baking. Because it starts from plant oils, margarine contains no cholesterol and more unsaturated fat than butter, and soft tub versions in particular can fit a heart-healthy diet.
The old concern was trans fat from partial hydrogenation, but most modern margarines have been reformulated to remove it, so checking the label for zero trans fat is wise. It runs about 100 calories a tablespoon, close to butter. Use it for spreading, sauteing, and baking, though its higher water content can slightly change delicate pastries. Vegan and plant-based buttery spreads are close cousins.
Keep margarine tightly covered in the refrigerator so it stays fresh and does not pick up odors.
