What the heck is non hydrogenated margarine. My recipe calls for this and I do not know what they mean.

what is nonhydrogenated margarine

It's margarine that doesn't contain trans fats or hydrogenated oils. Earth Balance is a very popular one. You may see it at your store as Organic Smart Balance.

ie. Earth Balance. Your standard margarine. Look for 'non-hydrogenated' on the packaging -- it's far healthier for you than the older, hydrogenated margarines. Most are non-hydrogenated nowadays.

Hydrogenation is a process that fat is put through to make it more stable in things like margarines, or a lot of processed baked goods and foods. This type of fat, however, is worse for you than saturated fat and should be avoided. I believe the writer of the recipe just doesn't want you to make unhealthy goodies.

You can use any margarine -- the author was just editorializing for your health. I use President's Choice lactose-free Celeb margarine, but there are lots of other brands.
