whats the difference btw butter and margerin?

Answer 1

One is cow fat the other is vegetable fat.

Answer 2

Yes, one, butter, is from cow fat, and margerine is made up of oil's. Both have the same amount of calories, 30 per pat. Margerine melts faster because it is mostly oil, but butter tastes better, and is the best thing to use because it is creamier, and mixes better, especially in baking.

Answer 3

Margarine is a butter-like product that typically contains 80% refined vegetable oils blended and emulsified with approximately 20% milk (whole, skim, or soy), and usually fortified with vitamin A. It is widely used both as a spread and as a cooking fat.

Etymology. The word "margarine," like the food, is an invention. In the early 1800s the young French chemist M.E. Chevreul discovered that fats are composed of fatty acids. In 1813 he named one of these "margaric acid" because it glistened with lustrous pearly drops that reminded him of the Greek word for pearl, margaron or margarites. In the late 1860s when a fellow Frenchman Mege-Mouries developed a product resembling butter, he decided to call it margarine, because his product was composed largely of margaric acid. He then added the prefix "oleo," a name for beef fat derived from the Latin oleum, meaning oil, which in turn derived from olea, meaning olive tree; beef fat in purified form (olein or oleo oil??) was the principal ingredient in margarine. In Europe the term "margarine" (generally pronounced with a hard g, as MAR-guh-reen) became the standard at a rather early date (when??), but in the US "oleomargarine" was the federally defined name until 1951, when "margarine" was first allowed. The typical US pronunciation is with a soft g, as MAR-juh-run (Riepma 1970).

I'm sure you know what butter is, so I won't go into the details of butter here.
