Margarine is a plant-based butter substitute originally created in France during the 19th century. Made primarily from vegetable oils, water, and emulsifiers, it can include ingredients like salt, flavorings, and sometimes vitamins such as A and D. Margarine is commonly used in cooking, baking, and spreading, with widespread popularity across many cuisines. Its lower saturated fat content compared to butter makes it appealing for heart-conscious diets, though this can differ based on the specific brand or type. Many margarines are fortified and free of cholesterol, making them suitable for those avoiding animal products. However, older formulations of margarine contained trans fats, which are associated with health risks. Today, most brands use trans-fat-free recipes, but it's important to check labels. Margarine’s health profile depends largely on the types of fats it contains and how it's consumed within a balanced diet.
