If Earth Balance® Natural Spreads aren hydrogenated, how do they stay stable at room temperature?
The patented oil blend we use at Earth Balance® is a careful combination of palm fruit, soy, and sometimes canola and olive oils. It’s not only nutritionally beneficial, it’s also naturally stable at room temperature (but please keep our buttery spreads refrigerated for best consistency and quality). Which means we don’t have to resort to unnatural or unhealthy processes like hydrogenation and interesterification to give our spreads their buttery consistency.
