Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hi, I am new to this board and looked in the archives on butter substitute. I am also a new vegan. Any suggestions on a good butter substitute? I would prefer to be able to buy at local grocer but also have a Wild Oats and Trader Joes. I am in the US if that is helpful. Thanks CeAnne in NM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yes, toast and recipes and I like other things too but sometimes just good ol butter is what hits the spot. Thanks I will check into those. --- On Wed, 7/15/09, yarrow <yarrow wrote:yarrow <yarrowRe: Information on vegan butter Date: Wednesday, July 15, 2009, 4:44 PM How do you want to use it? On toast? In recipes? You can find all kinds of nonhydrogenated vegetable-oil spreads, such as Smart Balance. If you want an added fat for recipes, you can use any vegetable oil you like. I tend to prefer other things on toast, such as nut butters or apple butter. Years ago, I used a vegan cream cheese a few times, but I haven't tried any of those products for at least 10 years.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 We use Earth Balance. It is great for cooking AND for putting on toast (which I love!)On Wed, Jul 15, 2009 at 5:44 PM, <yarrow wrote: How do you want to use it? On toast? In recipes?

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 My favorite one is Earth Balance. NOT to be confused with Smart Balance. To me it tastes the most real and I use it for everything from toast to cooking! I make some wonderful vegan cookies using it! We like their Original Natural Buttery Spread in the tub, haven't tried their other varieties. http://www.earthbalancenatural.com/#/products/original/ ceannetj Wednesday, July 15, 2009 1:51 PM Information on vegan butter Hi,I am new to this board and looked in the archives on butter substitute.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I thought that all the nonhydrogenated vegetable-oil spreads except Earth Balance had one or more " hidden " animal products?

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Yeah, probably Earth Balance is what I had in mind, I haven't used any butter substitutes much but remembered " something balance. " Though I thought there was more than one choice!

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 In the UK we have several that are vegan non-hydrogenated. We use Pure but there are others by Granose etc. that have been around for many years. I would imagine there must be some where you are.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 shows how often we use the stuff anymore..we used to buy the organic earth balance, and the one called soy garden with the green label.. soy garden has been repackaged since last we bought it obviously. http://www.earthbalancenatural.com/ kerri myers <4lilpups Jul 15, 2009 6:03 PM Re: Information on vegan butter We use Earth Balance.
