Overview
At last, a table spread that tastes good spreads easily and is good for you.
Melrose Omega Gold is the healthy and organic alternative to butter and margarine.
Made from organic sunflower and flaxseed oils, it is rich in essential Omega-3 nutrients and has the lowest saturated fat content of any table spread on the market. It is now widely recognised that the type and quality of fats and oils we consume has a significant influence on our health and wellbeing. A diet high in saturated fats can lead to eventual heart health problems. Omega Gold has an optimal balance of the good fats - Omega-3 alpha linolenic, Omega-6 &monounsaturated fats and it contains less than 6% saturated fat.
Frequently Asked Questions
How will Omega Gold benefit me?
Omega Gold contains only 5.7% saturated fat, which is the natural component of the sunflower and flaxseed oils, making it the perfect choice for anyone concerned about managing their fat intake. Studies over many years have shown that excessive consumption of saturated fats results in obesity and a lowering of heart health through increased cholesterol deposits in the arteries.
Saturated fats are as necessary as Omega-3, 6 and 9 but excess consumption is unwise. Other margarines contain more than 20% saturated fats and some have trans fats that act like saturated fat. Omega Gold does not contain Trans fats and it is also dairy free.
How is Omega Gold different to margarine?
How is Omega Gold different to margarine? Omega Gold is made by an entirely different process to margarine and butter. Margarine and butter require at least 20% saturated fat (hard fats) to form a solid matrix. Butter already has over 50% saturated fat and margarine requires hydrogenation or interesterification to produce hard saturated fats. Omega Gold is made by a very simple cold process using advanced emulsion technology. The process is patented.
Omega Gold is GMO free. The oils in Omega Gold are certified organic and with the certification come the guarantee that the seed source of the oils has not been genetically altered. Omega Gold does not contain any other ingredient obtained by genetic modification.
Omega Gold is dairy free.
Can I cook with Omega Gold?
Omega Gold is great for making cakes and muffins as it is so soft that mixing is done quickly and easily. It is not recommended for use when frying foods as it will splatter.
Omega Gold is best kept in the refrigerator. Freezing is to be avoided as it will cause the oils to separate.
Daily Intake
