About Tallow

Tallow is a nutrient-dense cooking fat rendered from beef or mutton suet, traditionally used in European, American, and Australian cuisines. Rich in flavor, tallow is prized for its high smoke point, making it ideal for frying, roasting, and baking. It contains mostly saturated and monounsaturated fats, delivering a concentrated source of energy and aiding in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K. Tallow is also naturally free of trans fats and carbohydrates, making it popular among those following keto, paleo, or carnivore diets. While it's a good source of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), known for its potential anti-inflammatory and immune-supporting benefits, tallow should be consumed in moderation due to its high calorie and saturated fat content, especially for individuals with cardiovascular concerns. Historically a staple in traditional diets, tallow has regained popularity as a natural, minimally processed alternative to refined cooking oils.
