About VEGETABLE SHORTENING
This vegetable shortening is a solid, shelf-stable fat product manufactured by Ventura Foods. Composed primarily of palm oil, soybean oil, and hydrogenated palm oil, it also contains mono- and diglycerides, TBHQ, and citric acid to maintain freshness. Nutritionally, it is very high in fat, providing 923 calories and 100g of fat per 100g serving, with no protein or carbohydrates. As such, it should be used sparingly. Given its high-fat content, particularly saturated fat, moderation is key when incorporating this type of shortening into a balanced diet. It is best used as a replacement for other fats in baking and cooking where its solid nature is desired.
