ALL-VEGETABLE SHORTENING

About ALL-VEGETABLE SHORTENING

This all-vegetable shortening, manufactured by Topco Associates, Inc., is a solid fat made from a blend of palm oil, soybean oil, and hydrogenated palm oil. Vegetable mono- and diglycerides are added as emulsifiers, while TBHQ and citric acid serve as preservatives to maintain freshness. Nutritionally, it is very high in fat, providing 923 calories and 100 grams of fat per 100-gram serving, with no protein or carbohydrates.

As a concentrated source of fat, this shortening should be used sparingly. While it can be useful in baking for creating flaky textures, its high fat content, particularly saturated fat from palm oil, warrants moderation within a balanced diet. Consider healthier fat options when possible to support overall well-being.
