Healthy and Dietic Butter. Review on Amul Lite Butter

I am a huge fan of AMUL products and a regular & heavy user of AMUL pasteurized butter. When I came to join my job 4 years back, my butter consumption started increasing as it adds taste and richness to everything- be it bread, roti or subzi. After four years of heavy use I noticed that my tummy has increased a lot J . And then I stopped using pasteurized butter because of its heavy fat content. But I was missing my favorite butter very much till the day I visited a mall.

I have seen many advertisements of Butter Lite, Nutrilite etc but never tried those. So on that day I picked AMUL LITE and decided to try it.

Packing & pricing

The pack was very cute and different from the pack of pasteurized butter. It was made of plasticso it was very easy to use and store. The box was in traditional color of AMUL- yellow and white. Once I opened the lid, there was a golden covering over the box decorated with lot of red hearts, with AMUL lite written over it. It seems that it is a gift from my girlfriend, but I think the hearts are printed to indicate the healthiness in heart due to less cholesterol in it.

I choose 200gms pack that was available at Rs 35/- (inclusive of all taxes).

Taste

I love the taste of pasteurized butter which is bit salty and very creamy in nature. But the Butter lite is not creamy looking. It looks like a dried cream that can easily be parted in small particles. Spreading butter over bread was always a delight to me that I missed after using butter lite. Applying it on bread seems little difficultbecause of it non-creamy properties. The taste is very different from the butter, but it is sufficient to satisfy your buttery needs.

It tastes much better when applied on toasted bread and consumed with jam. You may not be able to differentiate it with butter in the combo of bread-butter-jam.
