About Shortening, household, lard and vegetable oil
Lard and vegetable oil shortening is almost pure fat, with no protein, no carbohydrate, and no fiber. The lard component contributes saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, while the vegetable oil portion typically adds polyunsaturated fat. Used primarily in baking and frying, it was once a household staple before partially hydrogenated vegetable shortenings became dominant. It produces flaky pie crusts and tender biscuits, and because it remains solid at room temperature, it handles differently than liquid oil in recipes.
