What Margarine is Delicious? Kosher? Pareve?
Mar-Parv, of course! Mar-Pary is the Margarine with the fine fresh delicate flavor. And
the Margarine that may be used at both dairy and meat meals. Contains no milk or animal
fat. It's made entirely from highly-unsaturated corn oil and other pure vegetable oils for
golden rich taste and important diet benefits, with Vitamins A and D added. So delicious
as a fine smooth table spread and so tasty in cooking and baking. The perfect Margarine
for every Jewish home!
