Earth Balance Soy-Free Natural Buttery Spread, 15 Ounce -- 12 per case. Rarely does being a vegan feel limiting, despite the [uninformed] majority opinion on everything that might be "lacking" from a plant-based diet. However, even I have to balk when confronted by the idea of a soy-free vegan. That protein-packed little bean seems to sneak into just about everything these days, and can be hard enough to avoid for an omnivore, let alone a traditionally tofu- and soymilk-heavy veggie diet. Politics aside, I agree that weve gone overboard with the soy additives in recent years, and it simply cant hurt to seek out more alternatives when given the option. Well, up until just a few months ago, soy-free, dairy-free folks have been plum out of luck when it comes to finding a suitable buttery spread; Absolutely nothing fit the criteria, always being based on soybean oil with a pinch of soy lecithin thrown in for good measure. Finally, demand has created supply, and Earth Balance has expanded their line of vegan spreads to include a Soy-Free Natural Buttery Spread. Shelf Life: 360 days Gluten Free, Vegan View Nutrition Fact
