The list of ingredients has a few preservatives and stuff I don't usually like to eat, but I like the flavor and it spreadable straight from the fridge. It's also made with yogurt and doesn't have the slimy feel I think most butter substitutes have. chopsuey on "What kind of butter substitute do you use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-butter-substitute-do-you-use#post-1108614 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 17:34:02 +0000 chopsuey 1108614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I use butter and olive oil to cook. no substitutes! autumnlove on "What kind of butter substitute do you use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-butter-substitute-do-you-use#post-1108541 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 16:52:58 +0000 autumnlove 1108541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs.Someone: It is for my DH's toast...not cooking.

I don't like butter substitutes-for the same reasons I don't like sugar substitutes-free radicals. But, I also don't like the taste of them. My MIL will use Country Crock, though. lovehoneybee on "What kind of butter substitute do you use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-butter-substitute-do-you-use#post-1108503 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 16:32:26 +0000 lovehoneybee 1108503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Unsalted butter, olive oil, or coconut oil, depending on what I'm doing.

Overall, I prefer to use butter. But for pan frying/grilling olive oil is a great substitute. Just beware of anything with fillers or artificial ingredients. autumnlove on "What kind of butter substitute do you use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-butter-substitute-do-you-use#post-1107906 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:37:03 +0000 autumnlove 1107906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @looch: Yes! :) looch on "What kind of butter substitute do you use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-butter-substitute-do-you-use#post-1107899 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:34:49 +0000 looch 1107899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Ghee is also shelf stable, correct? runsyellowlites on "What kind of butter substitute do you use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-butter-substitute-do-you-use#post-1107823 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:13:22 +0000 runsyellowlites 1107823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Earth balance soy free or coconut oil. :) mrsjyw on "What kind of butter substitute do you use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-butter-substitute-do-you-use#post-1107807 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:07:27 +0000 mrsjyw 1107807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ we have smart balance, but rarely use it Mrs. High Heels on "What kind of butter substitute do you use?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-butter-substitute-do-you-use#post-1107802 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:06:05 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1107802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @locavore_mama: It's about $4 at TJ's, so definitely more expensive than butter.
