About ALL-VEGETABLE SHORTENING
This all-vegetable shortening is a processed fat product intended for baking and frying. It is composed primarily of soybean, palm, and fully hydrogenated palm oils, with mono and diglycerides added as emulsifiers and TBHQ and citric acid as antioxidants. Nutritionally, it is very high in fat, providing 917 calories and 100 grams of fat per 100-gram serving, with no protein or carbohydrates. Due to its high fat content, particularly saturated fat from palm oil, it should be used sparingly as part of a balanced diet. It falls under the Butter & Spread category but differs significantly in composition and nutritional profile from butter. Consumers should be mindful of portion sizes and consider healthier fat alternatives when possible.
