Question

Regina Heon

Do you think it's ok to use a commercial product like Flora butter for a Vegan cookie class I'm teaching?

Answer

Well, I think you answered your own question Regina if you're teaching People have to make something they have to be able to get the ingredients. So I would say the answer is no, however. Flora is coming out with A new cream a new Flora cream that is going to be available in the supermarkets. And also instead of using Flora butter you use Country Crock sticks, which are Flora butter that is available and the markets.
