Regardless of whether you can believe it's not butter, you may wonder what margarine is exactly. It's creamy, yellow, and spreadable just like real butter, but there are major differences between the two products—the biggest being their ingredients.
Butter is a byproduct of milk, typically from cows. Churning the cream skimmed from milk creates a rich, semi-solid emulsion that can be used as a fat in baking and cooking or as a condiment. Though embraced by cuisines around the world, butter has become a topic of health debates. While it is a good source of calcium and vitamins, butter is also high in saturated fat, which has been shown to raise cholesterol.
