Nutritionally, it's very high in fat, providing 923 calories and 100g of fat per 100g serving, with no protein or carbohydrates. Due to its high fat content and the presence of partially hydrogenated oils which may contain trans fats, it should be used sparingly. This product falls under the Butter & Spread category, but differs significantly due to its composition. While it can be used in baking and frying, moderation is key to maintaining a balanced diet.
