Flora Freedom Margarine Spread

Vegan MargarineIMG_4660

Flora have recently launched this new spread,  it is about time in my opinion.

I am a long term user of Vitalite which I really like.  This spread is firmer, which might make it better for baking,  it is a bit tasteless which is no bad thing.  The colour is cream, unlike the yellowish vitalite.  Honestly I thought it was OK.  I bought it on offer for £1 to try,  usual price is £2.  However Vitalite which I prefer is usually around £1 in most supermarkets, so I will not be changing over.

Hopefully they will put this margarine into their portion packs, as I am fed up of being offered flora vegetarian margarine (which is not vegan),  when you eat away from home.

Vegan Society Approved.   I got mine in the Co-op supermarket.

Biona Olive Extra Spread

Vegan Olive Margarinebiona_olive_spread

A tub of dairy free margarine with 12% extra virgin olive oil from Biona.  This product is organic and is made up of vegetable fats including sunflower oil, coconut oil, palm oil and olive oil.

I was not that impressed with this margarine,  it is perfectly adequate but I think there are better choices out there.  The margarine is off white in colour and quite hard to spread.  It does not have much flavour.  It can be used in all the usual ways, however I think that it would be really good as the base for a buttercream to spread over cakes as it has a firm texture.

Each 250gram tub is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Organic.  Per 100grams is 720kcal.  Sold in health food shops and on line vegan retailers.

Vegan Sunflower Spreadmands_simp_sunflower

A dairy free sunflower spread from the Simply range of Marks and Spencer.  I am really pleased that M&S have started taking dairy free and vegan diets seriously.

This spread is quite nice,  totally dairy free.  It has a nice yellowy colour that looks tasty and it is really good value,  I paid £1.29 for a 500gram tub.  Good on toast, jacket potatoes, sandwiches and for baking.  I really quite liked it.
