About Animal fat
Animal fat is derived from the tissues of animals and includes substances such as lard (pig fat), tallow (beef or sheep fat), and poultry fat. These fats are composed primarily of triglycerides, containing saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Animal fats are staples in various cuisines worldwide, from traditional French cooking to Southern American dishes, providing flavor and richness. They are often used for frying, baking, or as a base for sauces. From a nutritional perspective, animal fat serves as a concentrated energy source and delivers fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K. However, its high saturated fat content has been linked to increased cholesterol levels, which may raise the risk of heart disease if consumed in excess. Moderation is key, as animal fat can be a valuable addition to a balanced diet when paired with nutrient-dense foods.
