Description

Extra light vegetable margarine without trans fats is a food product made from refined vegetable oils, specifically designed to be a healthier option compared to traditional margarines. Its extra light formula indicates that it contains low levels of fat and calories, making it ideal for those looking to watch their diet without giving up the flavor and creamy texture in their culinary preparations.

This type of margarine does not contain trans fats, a type of fat that is harmful to cardiovascular health, making it a recommended alternative for balanced diets and for people who wish to reduce their consumption of saturated and trans fats.

Vegetable margarine originated in the 19th century when it was developed as an economical and accessible substitute for butter, and it is currently produced in multiple countries, commonly used in baking recipes, breads, fried foods, and sauces.

In the Spanish-speaking world, it may be referred to by different names depending on the region, such as light margarine, trans fat-free margarine, low-fat vegetable margarine, or simply light margarine. In any case, it is a versatile ingredient that adds flavor and texture to a wide variety of dishes, while also helping to prepare foods with a healthier nutritional profile.
