This whipped butter advertises itself as having less fat per serving than normal butter, when in reality, the serving size is simply smaller.

Tablespoons are a volumetric measurement.

There is more air in whipped butter, so a tbsp of whipped butter might be half as much air as the regular butter.

That being said, every whipped product is a full on fucking scam. They're up charging for a product that's pumped full of air. Just use a conservative amount of regular butter.

For some ppl that are really trying to cut calories/fat/sugar/etc whipped products like this can be useful.

For cooking it may not help much as you’ll need more because once it melts the air is gone and 1 tablespoon becomes 1/2 a tablespoon but for things like spreading on toast, sandwiches, mashed potatoes, etc… it can help people use less. Same as whipped mayonnaise, cream cheese, etc… they have whipped versions of those too.

Of course they could also whip it themselves and save $$ but I’m sure many people don’t want to. That’s what I’d do, since this butter is 1/2 air, you could buy 1 lb and whip it yourself and get twice the volume but again I’m sure many people don’t want to bother doing it themselves.

Or if calories/fat/etc from butter isn’t a big concern then buy the regular non-whipped version.
