The present invention relates to an edible granular structuring composition suitable for the production of structured food products having a low content of saturated and trans fatty acids, the granular composition comprising 5-100 wt. % of a glyceride composition and 95-0 wt. % of at least one non-glyceride edible solid material, wt. % being expressed with respect to the total weight of the structuring composition, wherein the glyceride composition comprises a blend of 5 to 85 wt. % of a non-lauric, hard or semi hard fat, containing less than 5 wt. % of TFA with respect to the amount of hard or semi hard fat and 95 to 15 wt. % of a liquid part, the liquid part being selected from at least one liquid oil or at least one liquid diglyceride composition or a blend of two or more of those, where TFA means trans fatty acids; wherein the glyceride composition comprises an amount of fat crystallized in a stable crystalline form; wherein the glyceride composition contains at least 5 wt. % of symmetric SUS-triglycerides with respect to the total amount of glyceride composition wherein S is a saturated fatty acid having 16-18 carbon atoms and U is an unsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms or more and wherein the glyceride composition has an STFA content of less than 55 wt. wherein STFA is the sum of the saturated and trans fatty acids present in the glyceride composition.
