About ANIMAL VEGETABLE SHORTENING
This product is a blend of beef fat and cottonseed oil, commonly used in cooking and baking for its shortening properties. It is very high in fat, providing 923 calories and 100 grams of fat per 100-gram serving, with no protein or carbohydrates. The ingredients include BHT as a preservative and dimethylpolysiloxane to reduce foaming.
Due to its high fat content, especially saturated fat from beef fat, this shortening should be used sparingly. Incorporating it into a balanced diet requires careful consideration of overall fat intake and choosing healthier fat sources whenever possible. It falls into the Butter & Spread category but lacks the nutritional benefits of some alternatives.
