VEGETABLE SHORTENING

About VEGETABLE SHORTENING

This vegetable shortening, manufactured by Weis Markets, is a solid, shelf-stable fat used in baking and frying. Nutritionally, it is very high in calories and consists entirely of fat, providing no protein or carbohydrates. The fat content is 100g per 100g serving, primarily from soybean, palm, and hydrogenated palm oils. Due to its high fat content, particularly saturated fat from palm oil, it should be used sparingly as part of a balanced diet and may not be suitable for those monitoring their fat intake. Its primary function is to add texture and richness to baked goods and provide a stable frying medium.
