Margarine FAQ

Here's a little margarine FAQ that I've been asked a couple of times. This answer comes from Chef Richard Erskine.

Q: Does whipped margarine weigh as much as regular margarine?

A: Whipped margarine has air whipped into it, so the volume of whipped margarine will be more than un-whipped margarine. But one pound of whipped margarine weighs the same as one pound of margarine solids.

There's your margarine trivia for the day. I'll be back tomorrow with a delicious recipe for Chicken and Black Bean soup that I've been eating literally ALL week. Salud!
