About Crisco

Crisco is a brand of shortening made primarily from partially hydrogenated vegetable oils like soybean and palm oils. Originally introduced in 1911, it was developed as a plant-based alternative to lard and butter, making it popular in American baking and frying. Crisco is prized for its ability to create flaky pie crusts and tender baked goods due to its high fat content. While it contains no trans fats in its modern formulation, it remains high in calories and saturated fats, which should be consumed in moderation. It does not provide significant vitamins or minerals and is largely an energy-dense ingredient. Though versatile in the kitchen, Crisco is best used sparingly, especially for those monitoring heart health or dietary fat intake. Its neutral flavor and texture make it a staple for many baked and fried dishes across cuisines.
