Margarina para untar, aceite vegetal, sin grasa, líquida, con sal
Fat-free liquid vegetable oil spread is a pourable, water-based condiment with a density of 1.014 g/ml, slightly above pure water. One US cup weighs approximately 240 g and one tablespoon about 15.0 g. Because virtually all the fat has been removed, this product is essentially flavored water thickened with emulsifiers, gums, and salt, which accounts for its density being marginally higher than water. It is used as a low-calorie alternative to butter or oil for topping vegetables, moistening bread, or drizzling over popcorn, but it cannot replicate the structural role of fat in baking -- it will not cream with sugar, will not create flaky layers, and will not brown properly.

Los líquidos no equivalen siempre al peso del agua. Grasa, azúcar y sólidos disueltos cambian la densidad, así que la misma taza puede quedar por encima o por debajo del supuesto acuoso. Usa estos gramos por densidad para escalar con precisión.
Nota de chef:Los chefs escalan salsas por peso porque la densidad altera el equilibrio de sabor.

FAQ
- Why does fat-free liquid margarine weigh almost the same as water per cup?
- With the fat removed, this product is overwhelmingly water with dissolved salt, thickeners, and flavorings. Its density of 1.014 g/ml is only 1.4% above water, reflecting the small mass contribution of dissolved solids. A cup weighs 240 g -- just 3 g more than a cup of pure water (237 g).
- Can I substitute fat-free liquid margarine for butter in baking recipes?
- Not reliably. Butter is approximately 80% fat and performs critical structural functions in baking: it traps air when creamed, creates flaky layers in pastry, and contributes to browning via the Maillard reaction. Fat-free liquid margarine lacks all of these capabilities. Using it in place of butter will produce flat, dense, pale baked goods. It is suited only for surface applications like drizzling or light sauteing.
