What is Nuttelex?
Nuttelex is an Australian plant-based spread made with vegetable oils and formulated without dairy. It is designed for everyday use much like butter: spread it on bread or use it in cooking and baking. Its flavour is generally mild, while the chilled spread has a soft, smooth texture that is easy to spread.
It fits easily into breakfasts, sandwiches and toast, and can also be used to sauté vegetables or in recipes for biscuits and pastries. In Australia it is a familiar dairy-free alternative; elsewhere, it works much the same way as other non-dairy spreads. Nuttelex is fat-rich and contains very little carbohydrate, with 80 g of fat per 100 g. For a lighter meal, use a thin layer and pair it with fresh vegetables or wholegrain bread.
