They sell it at Shoppers in northern Virginia. Can't find it in Florida yet.
yes, butter is a go food.
Most margarine contains trans fat, making it very "un"heart healthy. When you go to the grocery store, check the labels and look for something without any hydrogenated oils in the ingredient list and with low saturated fat. That will pretty much get you a heart healthy butter-type spread. I use Smart Balance :)
butter goes in fat.
Alright,lets break it down. Margarine-Can you say.. Hydrogenated? Even if it DOES say 'heart healthy' it usually means less fat,less sodium,however if you wanted to go with less sodium,go with unsalted butter. All told, Butter TASTES way better and used in moderation,it shouldn't be a problem.
Butter is still classed by retail and supply chain as a chilled dairy product.
Shortening is solidified fat. It can be hydrogenated vegetable oil, cocoa butter, butter, lard or tallow(rendered beef fat). 1/4 cup of shortening would be the equivalent of 1/4 cup of any of the above.
Apple butter is a condiment and would go into the "Oils and Discretionary Calories" portion of the pyramid.
None. Margarine is full of chemicals that are really bad for your body. Use real butter, it tastes better and is better for you. And no more than 1 teaspoon of butter per slice of bread, providing you are not using any other condiments, e.g. mustard, Ketchup. If using other condiments only butter one slice and put your condiments on the other.
No, butter will last longer in the refrigerator than 2 weeks. You need to keep the butter in an airtight container to insure freshness. Butter also can be frozen.
