Margarine

Margarine is a soft spread originally created as a plant‑based alternative to butter and is commonly used in baking, cooking and as a table spread. It is a concentrated source of fat, providing about 65g of fat per 100 g. Many commercial margarines are fortified with fat‑soluble vitamins such as vitamin A and vitamin K and may also contain added omega‑3s. As a culinary ingredient it replaces butter for a similar texture and cooking behavior, but most margarines are industrially processed, so choosing blends with higher unsaturated fats and lower saturated fat can improve their nutritional profile.
