We only make an 86% butterfat Cultured Butter. However you can put our butter in the microwave for 5 seconds to make it soft.

No. Any butter or margarine that is labeled reduced fat or comes in a tub should not be used. When buying stick margarine, make sure that the label indicates that the "margarine" contains at least 70% vegetable oil. Anything less will produce unsatisfactory results. To assure the best baking results, we recommend using stick butter that is not a reduced fat variety.

Smokin' Garlic Tomato Spread is described as "an appetizer jelly made with no added sugar". Use it much like a pepper jelly. A great way to serve it is to mix equal parts of the spread with cream cheese and mix in a food processor or blender. It only takes a couple minutes and makes a great spread for crackers or veggies. Diabetics should be able to have this product because it is sweetened only with fruit juice concentrates so they can use it as a fruit exchange.

Concerns about avian flu, or bird flu, have prompted questions about whether we should continue to eat chicken and other poultry.

No, because the combined amount of saturated fat and trans fat (the cholesterol-raising fats) and cholesterol for butter is usually higher than margarine, even though some margarines contain more trans fat than butter. It is better to eat softer or liquid margarines that contain a lower combined amount of saturated fat and trans fat and a lower amount of cholesterol. For a healthful alternative, nonstick cooking spray can be substituted for other fats when "greasing" the pan.

I do love popcorn and here is the infamous recipe: air pop corn in a paper grocery bag, sprinkle 1 or 2 tsp. olive oil over the top and shake bag to spread it around. Spray Pam into the bag and shake, light spray again and shake. Then sprinkle in low sodium salt and/or black pepper and viola! the perfect low fat high fiber snack (the paper bag will absorb much of the oil, but to make it a nonfat snack, omit the olive oil).

No, we at Redwood Hill Farm believe in consuming products in their most natural form with the least amount of processing. Goat milk is already lower in fat and cholesterol. Low and not fat products are not commonly available from goat milk producers because the equipment to separate the milk is expensive and most goat milk producers are smaller family farms.

Dawn Food Products produces frozen low-fat muffins and low-fat bakery mixes. We also manufacture fat-free muffin mixes.

It is easy to make your own butter from the cream, using appliances you probably already have in your kitchen. Note that you can make your butter either from the sweet or the cultured cream. See which flavor you and your family prefer!

You can use any variety of milk in your Play & Freeze. Whole milk or low fat milk takes longer to freeze so you may have to play with the Ice Cream Ball for 20-30 minutes to make Ice Cream with the desired consistency.

Our bakers are currently working to provide a low-sugar alternative for some of our products. One low-fat alternative that we do offer is our Choclate Chip Meringue cookies. At this time, all of our other goodies are sugar-packed and butter-rich.

I have to cut weight for a fight on the 24th of Feb. What would be the best way to do this and maintain energy.

The pre-portioned CocoaVia® Dark and Milk Chocolate bars range from 2 grams to 7 grams of fat per serving — which is less than most larger-sized chocolate bars. The Milk Chocolate Covered Raisins contain 6 grams of fat per serving. The Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds contain 11 grams of fat per package, but the majority of the fat comes from the almonds — which are rich in monounsaturated fat and are considered a "good" fat.

Margarine spreads are clearly the healthier choice over butter say heart-health authorities. Look for spreads that contain no trans fat, no cholesterol and 0-2 grams of saturated fat per serving. Compare these numbers to butter which has seven grams of saturated fat and contains 10 percent of the Daily Value for cholesterol per serving. In addition, the majority of butter’s calories come from saturated fat.

In the debate over butter versus margarine, butter wins. Butter and other dairy products do contain saturated fat. We are advised to control our intake of saturated fat daily. It should be noted that the type of saturated fat contained in butter and other dairy is different that the saturated fat from chicken or meat skin.

Adapting recipes in your kitchen is a smart and healthy challenge. Be aware that the consistency, texture and taste may be different than the original product. Here are some ideas in modifying your recipes: cup heavy cream (in recipes, not for whipping) 2 tsp. Cornstarch or 1 Tbsp. Flour whisked into 1 cup nonfat milk cup fat for sautéing 4 cups low fat stock, fruit juice or wine and sauté until liquid evaporates

You can substitute up to one half of the fat with an equal amount of applesauce or low-fat yogurt. Keep in mind that the flavor and the texture of the cookie will change.

Any food can make you fat, not just those foods high in carbohydrates. Carbohydrates, like protein, provide 4 calories per gram; fat provides 9 calories per gram. But complex carbohydrates (starches such as bread, pasta, rice, and potatoes), especially those derived from whole grains, are the body's best source of energy nourishment when they replace saturated fats and excess protein in the diet.

Natural fats as they are found in nature – and in Origins – have not only never been linked to disease, their deficiency in the modern diet is the cause of many health problems.

In short, no. It is now a widely known fact that the consumption of excess carbohydrates is one of the quickest ways to gain weight and the atkins diet (and zone diet) are proof of that fact. In fact, many low fat and fat free foods have so many excess carbohydrates (to replace the missing fat) that they can make you gain extraordinary amounts of weight by eating them too often or in too great of a quantity.

with the myth that carbohydrates make one fat, the answer to this is the same. Calories ingested and absorbed above expenditure contribute to increasing fat stores. However, there is some evidence that would suggest it is easier to get fat when consuming a high-fat diet. It seems the human body has a difficult time regulating food intake on high-fat diets, making it easier to accidentally eat excess calories. Also, because fat provides a lot of calories for a small volume (nine calories/g vs.

There is abundant evidence that a low-fat diet can lower the risk of heart disease and cancer. The pronouncements of those favoring higher fat diets are usually colored by personal dietary preferences. A low-fat diet may require some adjustment to one's palate, but that change occurs readily over time. I favor a diet with no added oils or fats. Our small dietary requirement for fats can be met by the fat naturally present in whole grains, vegetables, nuts, and seeds.

Yes, women in intervention group experienced a significantly greater reduction in the risk of progesterone receptor negative breast tumors than in the risk of progesterone receptor positive tumors. It appeared that the low fat dietary pattern may have had the most benefit in preventing tumors that were both estrogen receptor positive and progesterone receptor negative.

Results from this paper suggest that changing dietary patterns, as the Dietary Change group did, in postmenopausal mid to later life may have limited benefit in preventing colorectal cancers in postmenopausal women.

There were small but significant decreases in body weight, LDL-cholesterol and diastolic blood pressure. Triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, glucose, and insulin were not increased by the diet intervention. Women who were on hormone therapy or aspirin did not have a different result for breast cancer or heart disease.

Low fat milk is not included in this program because it contains fat and carbohydrates. Low fat cheese contains less fat and usually no carbohydrates. But full fat cheese tastes so much better and is perfectly okay on Level One.
