About Animal fats
Animal fats are derived from the tissues of animals, commonly from pork (lard), beef (tallow), or poultry. Rich in saturated and monounsaturated fats, these fats are a traditional cooking ingredient in many cuisines worldwide, such as French, Southern American, and Asian dishes. Animal fats can enhance flavor, add richness, and serve as a high-temperature cooking medium. Nutritionally, animal fats provide a dense source of energy and fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K, especially when sourced from grass-fed animals. However, their high saturated fat content has sparked debates about heart health. Moderation is key, as excessive consumption may contribute to an increase in LDL cholesterol. On the positive side, these fats contain stearic acid, which has a neutral effect on cholesterol. Opting for minimally processed, high-quality animal fats can be a flavorful and nutritious addition to a balanced diet when consumed responsibly.
