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.
