Margarine

Margarine

Everyday

Margarine is a processed food product designed as a substitute for butter. It is primarily composed of vegetable oils, water, salt, and emulsifiers, and often undergoes hydrogenation to solidify the oils, which can create trans fats. While some varieties are formulated to minimize trans fats and may be fortified with vitamins, margarine generally contains a different fatty acid profile than butter, often with a higher proportion of polyunsaturated fats, but also potentially containing saturated and trans fats depending on the specific formulation.
