Powdered vitamin butter, for everyday cooking and the long haul

Real butter goes bad. It needs a cold spot in the fridge, it turns soft on the counter, and it runs out at the worst time. Our Powdered Vitamin Butter keeps for years on a shelf, and it carries vitamins besides.

We start with real butter and non-fat milk and turn it into a powder. It sits in the pantry, it mixes up in under a minute, and it stands in for fresh butter in most of what you cook. No more spoiled sticks, no more late grocery run because you're one tablespoon short.

More than butter, with the nutrients added in

We fortify this butter with 16 essential nutrients. No added sugar, and no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, or sweeteners.

Each serving carries key vitamins and minerals:

• Vitamin D and calcium for bone health.
• A full set of B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B12) for steady energy.
• Vitamins A, C, and E, which act as antioxidants and support the immune system.
• Potassium, vitamin K, and folate.

Two sizes for two kinds of pantry

It comes in two formats, both good for a long time:

• The #10 can holds 204 servings, about 25.5 sticks of butter, with a 10-year shelf life. This is the one for deep storage.
• The resealable pouch holds 35 servings, a little over 4 sticks, and also keeps for 10 years. Good for everyday use and a smaller shelf.

Once you open a package, use it within a year for the best taste.

Simple to mix, and it does more than spread

Making spreadable butter takes about a minute. Add 1 tablespoon of powder to ½ teaspoon of water and stir with a spoon, fork, or small whisk until it's smooth and creamy.

It won't melt into a puddle the way a cold stick does on hot toast. That's the one thing it doesn't do. Everything else, it does fine:

• Spread it on warm toast, muffins, or pancakes.
• Sprinkle the dry powder straight onto popcorn, vegetables, or pasta for a buttery flavor.
• Bake with it as a one-for-one swap for fresh butter.
• Stir it into sauces and soups for richness.

What customers say

Here's what a few of them told us about the taste and the ways they use it.

• George calls it the best he's used. "This is by far the best tasting freeze dried butter I have ever used. Reconstitutes very well, spreads like butter, use it on everything."
• Jan keeps it for long-term storage. "This is a good tasting butter powder with the added benefit of added nutrients. I'm glad to have it in my LTS."
• Emily found her own trick. "It's in a shaker. I sprinkle it at the last minute on bread in the bread machine, hot French bread, grits... I also whip this into cold coconut oil so I can cook at higher temperatures with butter taste."

The short version

Our Powdered Vitamin Butter gives you the taste of real butter without the fridge and without the short life, and it adds vitamins your other butter doesn't have. Put a can on the shelf. The next time you run out of the real thing on a Sunday night, you'll be glad it's there.
