Creating this blog is my ultimate decision for how to handle the ongoing interest in how I have prepared food for backpacking over the years. For a long time my thinking was stuck on the idea of a book, but this topic is too dynamic for that rigid of a format. On the other hand, I didn't want to provide all this information completely free of charge.
Therefore, this blog will have advertisements showing. You are free to ignore them or not. They do help me in a small way.
I collect no information from visitors to this page.

Product Review- Butter Buds


Product Review

Butter Buds are a powdered butter product that can add flavor to dried meals. Because dried foods need to be low fat (fat will go rancid), this product restores some of the taste that fat provides.

Butter Buds

Butter Buds have been my favorite butter substitute for years, but if I'm honest, I can't tell much taste difference from other similar products. They are generally found in a sprinkle-top jar, about 2.5 oz for around $3.00

Things I Do Like:

The texture and flavor are good.

It combines well with dry ingredients and doesn't form clumps when rehydrating.

There is no problem with loss of flavor or spoilage.

Does not require refrigeration

Things I Don't Like:

Butter Buds can occasionally be hard to find without ordering.

Other Products in This Line:
Butter Buds in foil packets

Ingredients:

Maltodextrin, butter, salt, natural butter flavor, rice starch, soybean lecethin, annato, tumeric

Alternatives:

Molly McButter (contains milk products and must be refrigerated after opening)

Other bulk Butter Powders (I have not tried other products, and most come in a large container)
