Greaves spread / tepertőkrém

In the past, many households had a problem with excess greaves. They could not use it up fast enough, so they arrived at the perfect solution – making a spread out of greaves would solve this problem as well as make sure something delicious was always available to whip out if a hungry grandchild or a guest came around. Nowadays, it seems to be gaining popularity again; however, store-bought is quite expensive and not nearly as yummy.

A spread made from greaves contains a number of healthy ingredients that help protect

our body and provide it with the necessary nutrients. Some say eating greaves (in the form of a spread, for example), is the key to not getting sick so often but also to have enough energy for our everyday lives.

Making your own greaves spread is not that difficult, though there are a few tips and tricks to ensure the end result is delicious – reports Magyarorszagom. First and foremost, it all depends on the greaves you use. Artisan greaves would be the best, without a bunch of additives, but they are hard to come by, unfortunately. It is always important to make sure the ingredients you use are of good quality.
