Margarine is commonly used as a substitute for butter in cooking and baking.
Margarine is a butter substitute made from vegetable oils, water, and sometimes milk. It was invented in the 19th century as a cheaper alternative to butter. Margarine is lower in saturated fat than butter, making it a popular choice for those seeking a healthier option. However, it may contain trans fats, which are considered less healthy. Margarine can be used in a variety of dishes in place of butter, including baking, cooking, and spreading on toast.
