had a look on the Wikopedia link I sent to you but it wasn't all that clear...it is an all vegetable shortening but I think you could substitute butter for it...it is completely pure white so buttercream icing (BC) turns out white, not cream..
It is cheaper than butter but you couldn't eat it like butter..no taste really...
I use 1/2 butter, 1/2 Crisco in my buttercream but there are other types of BC that are very good and don't use it ...

A very useful link to acronyms used on CC....
