Butter is probably the most commonly used dairy product in classic cooking and baking recipes but it’s not good for everyone’s health whether it’s due to a dairy allergy or a need or desire to cut back on saturated fat. People with a milk allergy will need to eliminate butter as the protein in milk called casein can be allergenic and is present in small amounts in butter. For people with lactose intolerance butter can cause a negative reaction as it contains lactose. People trying to lose weight or improve their heart health may want to eliminate butter from their diet: butter is high in fat and calories and saturated fat can raise cholesterol levels.
Regardless of your reason for cutting butter from your diet finding a substitute that cooks just as well and tastes similar can be tricky if you don’t know what to look for. Luckily many of the best non-dairy butter alternatives (for spreading and baking) can be found in health food stores and major grocery chains.
