Flora (margarine)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flora is a brand of margarine, sold in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia. It is produced by Unilever and sold in other parts of the world under the brand name of Becel. Unilever came up with the brand after being asked by medical professionals to come up with a healthy alternative to butter, lard and hard margarines.
[edit] Health benefits
Flora contains a balance of healthy fats, which have been proven to lower cholesterol, including omega-3 and omega-6 oils. The margarine also contains very little trans-fat and no hydrogenated oils, which have been a health concern in other margarines.
[edit] London Marathon
Since 1996, Flora have been the primary sponsors of the London Marathon.
