Blend Bar by Becel® temporarily located in Loblaws at Maple Leaf Gardens
You don’t have to know me for long or have visited my site for more than two minutes to know I LOVE to bake and cook.
Rarely a day goes by that I’m not cooking up one experiment or another. Like some sort of culinary mad scientist, I’m often showered in flour and will have every inch of space on the counters and the island piled high with ingredients and tools of the kitchen trade. Could be everything from bowls to molasses, measuring cups to brussel sprouts and knives to nuts.
Although I love to cook and bake, I did worry how all this culinary “love” may be affecting my health and the health of my family.
After doing some research, I was reassured to know that Becel® continues to be committed to providing a range of products that can be delicious and still be a part of a heart-healthier lifestyle.
Did you know, Becel®, recently revealed that the margarine we all know and love is now available with simpler ingredients?
This is Master Blender Rose Reisman at the Blend Bar. Using a few simple pantry ingredients like: canola oil and sunflower oil, carrot juice (for colour) and lemon juice she make fresh, homemade margarine in under 15 minutes. Can you believe it?

I was there too!! It was such a great EVENT!! I love the live demo of how becel is made! I grew up using it, but was always told it contained a lot of artificial things and wasn’t good for your because it didn’t mold. I was happy to see before my eyes that it is made with natural ingredients!! How amazing is that!

Interesting, honestly I never really knew how margarine was made. We use Canola oil for cooking all the time.

I was not in Toronto during this time frame but this is really interesting. I would use such a thing if they had it here in London.
