Essential Omega Spread
On a whim I decided to try Spectrum Naturals’ Essential Omega Spread and was surprised to find that it’s an excellent butter/margarine substitute. It’s excellent on toast or bagels and has the benefit of supplying Omega-3′s in the form of organic flax oil while avoiding the cholesterol associated with butter and the trans-fatty acids accociated with margarine. It’s a vegan product, getting its butter flavor from soy, and really is worth checking out.
That’s what we use when we need a “buttery” type substance for a recipe. I can’t spread it on toast and eat it that way – because I think it smells odd. But I could just be crazy. (Besides, I prefer raspberry preserves!)
Oooohh- found it….
here they are… I’m excited to see that they have cumin. Our store didn’t have it.
Ooooh… now I know what to put on my Christmas list. :)
