Becel margarine

Becel Margarine is a type of margarine widely recognized for its quality and health benefits. It is a product made primarily from vegetable oils, making it a healthier alternative to traditional butter due to its lower content of saturated fats and cholesterol.

Becel margarine originated in Canada, where it was originally developed as an option to help reduce cholesterol in people at cardiovascular risk. Since then, it has become popular in various countries, including several in Latin America, thanks to its balanced flavor and texture, as well as its nutritional properties.

Regarding its properties, Becel margarine is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and may contain plant sterols, components that help maintain healthy cholesterol levels in the blood. Furthermore, its formula is usually enriched with vitamins A and D, which are essential for a balanced diet.

In the culinary field, Becel margarine is versatile and can be used for both cooking and preparing desserts, breads, and sauces, providing a creamy texture and a mild flavor that does not overpower dishes.

In Latin America, although the name "Becel margarine" is widely known and used to refer to this particular brand, margarine may also have different generic names depending on the country, such as margarina, manteca vegetal, or simply manteca in some contexts. However, Becel is distinguished by its focus on cardiovascular health.
