Trader Joe's has managed to crack the code on the perfect vegan butter with its new Organic Buttery Plant-Based Spread.
While there are a number of plant-based butters on the market, many lack the supremely smooth texture and deliciously creamy flavor of real butter. However, Trader Joe’s Organic Buttery Plant-Based Spread manages to strike this perfect balance without using any dairy-based ingredients. Trader Joe’s Organic Buttery Plant-Based Spread is made from a carefully calibrated mix of organic coconut, sunflower, canola, flaxseed, and sustainably-sourced palm fruit oils. A touch of salt is then added to create the perfect butter-like spread for everything from breakfast bagels to dinner rolls.
Best of all, the new spread is not only vegan, but also dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free, and kosher.
