It's good for you, the farmers and the earth, just imagine what it does for a pie crust. Cholesterol free; Less saturated fat than butter; Vegan-dairy free; Kosher-KSA; Gluten free. Product of Columbia.
Ingredients

UPDATE: August 2010--I bought this in May at $21.60 for four, and thereafter it was almost TRIPLE the price--What's THAT all about!!! Outrageous! With this product it is clear you have to keep tabs on changing prices. I was at a health food store a few days ago and found this for sale at under $8 each, better price than buying this from Amazon right now!
Update: November 6, 2012
I have since found a more reasonable vender for this product at Amazon. I just ordered 3- 24oz. containers from Vitacost for $27.10 including shipping. That comes to $9.03 per container a much better price indeed.
