About ALL-PURPOSE VEGETABLE SHORTENING
This all-purpose vegetable shortening, manufactured by McIlhenny Company, is a solid fat product used in baking and cooking. Primarily composed of soybean, palm, and hydrogenated palm oils, it provides a high-fat source of energy, containing 917 calories and 100 grams of fat per 100-gram serving, with no protein or carbohydrates. It also contains mono- and diglycerides, TBHQ, and citric acid. As a virtually pure fat source, this shortening should be used sparingly within a balanced diet, focusing on incorporating healthier fats from sources like nuts, seeds, and olive oil.
