Why Visit the Blend Bar by Becell®, at Loblaws® store at Maple Leaf Gardens?

“Through the Blend Bar by Becel®, Canadians can learn about the craftsmanship behind the blending process and experience the journey of how margarine goes from ‘farm to knife’,” said Rose Reisman, leading Canadian healthy lifestyle and food expert, who is working with the brand as one of the Master Blenders at the Blend Bar.  “The journey starts by pressing the plants and seeds into oils. Each oil has its own unique qualities, and by blending these oils to help create margarine, the results offer the best of both worlds – a delicious taste and a source of essential Omega 3 polyunsaturated fat.”
