Margarine is a substance similar to butter, in that it's used for cooking, spreading on bread etc. However, there is a major difference in the composition of butter against margarine.

Margarine is made mainly from vegetable oils, rather than dairy products. Butter is made with dairy and traditional butter is made only from dairy (milk).

Due to clever advertising, big business and food manufacturing has blurred the line between these products and now there are an almost infinite variety of butter-like spreads all claiming different health properties, fat contents and ingredients.

To know exactly what your particular spread is made from and what it contains, please check the labels carefully.
