All the goodness of whole grains, flax, blueberries and soybean oil! Soybean oil is naturally low in saturated fat relative to many competing oils...but there's always room for improvement!
USB served a version of this muffin to Registered Dietitians in Washington State at their annual meeting in April, 2010. It was made with a new reduced-saturate soybean oil, which has 7% or less saturated fat than conventional soybean oil. It also has a reduced palmitic fatty acid profile to support cholesterol reduction and improve heart health. Biotechnology makes this possible.
