Which Margarine is Better?
Blue Band Or Planta?
Planta is a brand of margarine produced by Upfield for Belgium, France, Malaysia, and Portugal. It is made from vegetable oil: rapeseed, maize, and sunflower. It used to be the leading brand, but it was pushed out of the market by Blue Band because it was a cheaper option for good quality when it came into the Nigerian consumption market.
Over time Blue Band has served generations by being the leading margarine brand in Nigeria but due to inflation and cost, they have significantly reduced their quality. Blue Band of today is not the same quality it used to be.
However, Planta has maintained its quality overseas and is gradually making its way back into the Nigerian market. Although it is still more expensive than Blue Band the quality is much better, and this makes every penny worth it.
In conclusion, Blue Band is still doing okay and is even delicious but if you want that very good quality and taste, you should try Planta.
