Butters: Nutrition Facts and Calories
This category covers a range of products made from milk fat or vegetable oils, including traditional butter, margarine, and lighter spreads. These are often used for cooking, baking, or as a spread on bread and toast. When choosing products in this category, it's helpful to look at the nutrition label. Pay attention to the amount of saturated fat, as recommended by the NHS Eatwell Guide, which suggests limiting intake. The ingredient list can also provide useful information. For butter, the primary ingredient is milk fat. For margarines and spreads, the ingredients will indicate the type of vegetable oil used. While sugars are not typically a major component of butter or traditional margarine, some spreads may contain added sugars, so it's worth checking the label if this is a concern. Salt content is also listed on the nutrition label, and the NHS advises adults to consume no more than 6g of salt per day. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
